While three little tamales cool off on a windowsill, a tortilla rollsby. "You"ll be eaten. You"d better run," he tells them. And so thetamales jump out the window. The first runs to the prairie andbuilds a house of sagebrush. The second runs to a cornfield and builds ahouse of cornstalks. The third runs to the desert and builds a house of cactus.Then who should come along but Senor Lobo, the Big Bad Wolf, with plans toblow their houses down. Valeria Docampo"s oil-and-pencil illustrations addzest and humor to this rollicking southwestern version of a popular tale.
