Pretty Salma by Niki Daly
Salma, pretty Salma, please go to market for your old granny who loves you so. This up-to-the-minute Red Riding Hood story is set in a South African township with market traders, a crazy-eyed rooster, Anansi the storyteller and a no-good, slick, sly stranger calling himself Mr Dog. The comedy, thrills and shivers of the familiar story lead to a reassuring ending, and Niki Daly's tongue-in-cheek storytelling and hilarious pictures are flavoured with melon, ice-cream and fun.
