Pretty Salma is an African retelling of the classic story Little Red Riding Hood. In this version, Salma goes to the market to pick things up for Granny but goes home on the crazy side of town. On her way home, she meets Mr.Dog who steals all her things then pretends to be her. In the end, Salma and her grandfather save the day by wearing masks and pretending to be scary folk legends and scaring Mr. Dog away. Again, a great book for teaching about different cultures. Would go well with the Anasi series.
