Pretty Salma: A Little Red Riding Hood Story from Africa

32 pp. | Clarion | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-618-72345-4 $16.00
(3) K-3 Salma goes to market and, like her predecessors, fails to heed Granny's warning not to talk to strangers. Wily Mr. Dog frightens her away and heads for Grandma, but this little girl is no helpless victim. The contemporary Ghanaian town is busy and bright in Daly's jaunty, colorful illustrations. African folklore motifs are incorporated throughout.
