Little Britches and the Rattlers

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Vincent Nguyen. In this Little Black Sambo takeoff, Little Britches, on her way to the rodeo, encounters rattlesnakes who threaten to "s-s-swaller" her up. The clever cowgirl trades them items of clothing, and the rattlers argue over who's finest. Little Britches's resourcefulness is to be commended, and the earthy palette of the funny illustrations of snakes in Western gear complements the desert setting.
