(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Harris. Carrying goodies like shrimp etouffeé and gumbo to Grand-mère, Petite Rouge Riding Hood, a duck, meets a hungry alligator, who says, "I'll get me dat food / an' dat li'l girl too!" Luckily, she outwits him, thanks to her cat and some hot sauce. Accompanied by action-packed, comical illustrations in watercolor and pencil, the dialect-laden verses make for good reading aloud.
