Day 39: Petite Rouge by Mike Artell

Today’s recommended book is “Petite Rouge” by Mike Artell . In this Cajun retelling of Little Red Riding Hood our heroine and her quick thinking cat Tejean outwit Big Claude the alligator . Written in a phonetic Cajun French patois you cannot help but read it aloud with an over-exaggerated bad Cajun accent . One of a series of three classic stories retold set in the swamp and with fabulous exaggerated art by the very talented Artell this book is sure to be a favorite at story time . There is even a glossary of French terms used at the beginning , just in case you are not really from Cajun country . This hardcover storybook sells for $17.99 a copy .
