Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Elya follows up Rubia and the Three Osos (her version of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears") with this Mexican influenced and modern take on "Little Red Riding Hood." The book has a flair all its own: Little Roja's mother watches telenovas, Little Roja drives an ATV, the wolf wears a bandana and skull necklace, Grandma has a laptop and a statue of Jesus, and when Little Roja saves the day, Grandma ends up investing in a good lock and security camera. Elya's engaging text features snappy rhymes and plenty of contextual clues for Spanish words, which are in easy-to-find bold type. Her rhyming scheme is essential in helping non-Spanish speakers with pronunciation. A glossary at the beginning of the book provides straightforward pronunciations and definitions for Spanish words. The main characters are well depicted and follow the story nicely. Guevara's illustrations provide a lot to see, such as the three blind mice and Roja's cat, who tag along for the entire adventure; slightly menacing sunflowers with eyes; talking magpies; and some very busy Spanish trickster elves, who are unexplained, except in Guevara's bio. Overall, the story shines through, and this is a must-have where Elya's other books have been popular.—Catherine Callegari, Gay-Kimball Library, Troy, NH

From Booklist

The author of Fire! Fuego! Brave Bomberos (2012) offers here another rhyming bilingual picture book—this one based on a classic folktale. Readers meet sassy Little Roja, her computer-savvy abuela, and a big-eyed, furry-eared, pointy-toothed lobo, who is more annoying than terrifying. Mama is busy watching telenovelas, so she sends Roja through the woods (riding an ATV) with hot soup for Abuela. When Roja stops to pick flowers, Lobo absconds with her cape and arrives first at Abuela’s. As granny prepares to strike the intruder with her Jesus statue, Roja enters, flinging hot soup at Lobo and causing his hasty retreat. Guevara’s sunny watercolor, ink, and gouache illustrations employ some of the same techniques she used so successfully in Chato’s Kitchen (1995): magical realism (here tiny fairies assist Roja and Abuela), symbols of Latino (and fairy tale) culture, and subtle humor. A helpful glossary precedes the text, but contextual clues will suffice for many. Pair with Ann Whitford Paul’s Tortuga in Trouble (2009) for another Spanish version of this tale. Grades K-3. --Kay Weisman

    Susan Middleton Elya grew up near Des Moines, Iowa, went to college 35 miles away, and then left her state to teach in the middle-of-nowhere Nebraska. But before that, she traveled to Mexico City with her high school Spanish teacher, to Venezuela to student-teach, and to Burgos, Spain, to finish up her dual degree. She wanted to teach 3rd grade but ended up teaching high school Spanish instead (due to her double degree from Iowa State University). After 8.5 years of teaching in the Midwest, she moved to San Diego to get married and ended up teaching Spanish to native speakers in Ramona, California. Then a move with her husband to the Bay Area left her jobless, with a new baby, and with plenty of time to write. She started submitting stories for publication in 1988 and finally struck gold with Say Hola to Spanish, a nonfiction picture book from Lee & Low, in 1994. Now, 29 titles later, Elya is working on novels, as well. She has three grown children and still loves to make up stories, do school visits, and remember what it was like to be a kid. She also has an online costume store in California, where she sells children's pioneer clothing and her books. Check it out at www.thepolkadotattic.com. Visit her author website at www.susanelya.com.

    Susan also sings with a chorus and likes to dress up and hang out with Darth Vader (see photos).
