Synopsis

Take Little Red Riding Hood, drop her in the middle of the Louisiana bayou,
and she magically transforms into Petite Rouge!
As she hurries through the swamp to bring her sick grandm�re some
soothing �touff�e, Petite Rouge does not have to worry about any
big bad wolves. However, she does have to watch out for the gator taille-taille!
Will Petite Rouge safely deliver her �touff�e to Grandm�re?
Will Grandm�re get well? Will the gator taille-taille eat them both? As
children discover the answers to these questions, they will also learn numerous
Cajun words along the way.
A former teacher who makes frequent school appearances, Sheila H�bert
Collins proudly claims a heritage that is completely Cajun. A native of
Abbeville, Louisiana, Mrs. Collins combined her Cajun love and pride with her
love of children's literature to create her unique Cajun fairy tales. Her unique
talents have placed her on the Louisiana State Artist Roster as an author and
Cajun storyteller.
