Readers who will like this: children familiar with Little Red Riding Hood, students living in the West or desiring to learn more about that environment, readers with an appreciation for onomatopoeia and humor.
Response/Rating (1-4): *** I liked this new twist on an old classic. Lowell includes onomatopoeia along the way to make reading aloud an enjoyable endeavor.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: What kinds of things might you find in the desert?
