Far from the thoughtless, shrinking-violet waif-girl of older European tales, the red-headed, red-hatted Little Red of this fairy tale is a rootin' tootin' pre-feminist with a pistol for a granny. Our young cowgirl recognizes the Big Bad Wolf for the baddie he is but she was taught, in proper Texas tradition, to be polite to strangers....Granny and Little Red outsmart ol' Big Bad and hang out afterward to chew the fat about how girls can look after themselves. Hilariously illustrated and with authentic Wild West language, this tall tale will steal your heart!

This book is WONDERFUL! I like it a lot because it made us laugh! It had good pictures and they made us feel happy. It is a good book. "This book reminded me of when I went to a farm," Yasmin said. We want other kids to read this book because they will like it too.

An American Southwest setting for the classic "Little Red Riding Hood" tale. Red's cowboy hat replaces Red's hood and the rest is literary history. Great illustrations of the Southwest and a right-on grandma from strong American pioneer stock: "That yellow-bellied, snake-blooded, skunk-eyed, rancid son of a parallelogram! . . . This time he picked the wrong grandma".

This book is a really cute cowboy take-off on the old Little Red Riding Hood story. It is appropriate for 3 through 8 year olds. They would enjoy reading and comparing both stories.

This book is a twist to the story "Little Red Riding Hood." The only negative is that the grandmother gets out a gun to run off the wolf. I do not agree with promoting violence, however, I realize this is a cowgirl/western themed book and guns are part of the wardrobe.

I bought this book for my grandson when he was about 2 and loved cowboys. This very fun rendition of the classic Red Riding Hood made this little boy from Vermont just quiver with enjoyment. He would always ask for this first when we would sit down together for reading time. Your ittle cowboy or cowgirl will want you to read it EVERY time you are willing.

This book entertains in an olde, but new fashioned manner.
It is a wonderful take-off of the Big bad wolf theme, and my granddaughter loved the cowgirl twist to it.

I do not feel this book is appropriate for young children. (4 years old). there are many weapons referenced throughout the story. On the first page, the young girl walks outside holding a sling shot. near the end of the story, the grandmother walks out holding an ax as she is going after the wolf, and then it reads, "she snatched her shotgun..."
