While three little tamales cool off on a windowsill, a tortilla rolls by. Youll be eaten. Youd better run! he tells them. And so the tamales jump out the window. The first runs to the prairie and builds a house of sagebrush. The second runs to a cornfield and builds a house of cornstalks. The third runs to the desert and builds a house of cactus. Then who should come along but Seor Lobo, the Big Bad Wolf, who plans to blow their houses down. Valeria Docampos oil-and-pencil illustrations add zest and humor to this rollicking southwestern version of a popular tale.
