When Granny asks Pretty Salma to go to the market one day, she warns her
not to talk to strangers. But cunning Mr. Dog tricks Salma, and before
she knows it, he's wearing her stripy ntama, her pretty white beads, and
her yellow sandals. And he's on his way to Granny's house! African
culture and flavor infuse this inventive retelling of a favorite fairy
tale, and the vibrant lively illustrations bring it to life. The result
is a story that combines new and old and spans cultures as successfully
as it has spanned the centuries.
