The Runaway Tortilla

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Randy Cecil. "Run as fast as fast can be. You won't get a bite of me." In this southwestern version of the Gingerbread Man, a tortilla escapes the griddle and runs away, chased by an old couple, horned toads, donkeys, rattlesnakes, and buckaroos. A cagey coyote finally tricks the tortilla into being eaten. Playful illustrations in a brown-gold palette set this one in the Texas desert.
