Federico And The Wolf, written by Rebecca J Gomez, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: This excellent variation on Little Red Riding Hood will surely be a hit with children. The variations are that the protagonist is a boy named Federico and he visits his abuelo (grandfather) instead of a grandmother. There is still a big, bad lobo (wolf) who is outsmarted by the clever Federico. The rhyming text is wonderful and full of Spanish words (also listed at the end of the book). The colorful illustrations by Elisa Chavarri are excellent, vivid, fun and interesting. The book is very entertaining and the Spanish words, illustrations and characters make a great book that will surely be a hit. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: Great for discussing other cultures with young children. It may also be interesting to compare and contrast with the classic LRRH.
