Little Red Hot - by Eric A Kimmel (Hardcover)

About the Book

In this variation of "Little Red Riding Hood" set in the Southwest, Little Red makes a hot pepper pie for her sick grandmother, but she must evade Senor Lobo when she attempts to deliver it.

Book Synopsis

Little Red Hot loves red hot chilli peppers. She eats them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When her grandmother catches a cold, Little Red makes her a hot pepper pie that will "knock those cold germs right out of her". But before Little Red shares her pie with Grandma, she meets Señor Lobo. The pie comes in very handy when the wily wolf tries to trick her into thinking he's her grandmother.
