A children's book retelling the Little Red Riding Hood story with the roles reversed. Like Grim's original fairy tale, this is a bit dark. The art is highly stylistic and won't be for everyone but I found it enjoyable.

WOW I don't know what will stick with me longer - the artwork or the story!

This unconventional book has full page magnificent illustrations with a vintage touch where, in the middle, the text is handled in small but meaningful doses.

It’s a dark fairy tale that subverts the original traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood, where the wolf is the victim and the little girl is the charming dangerous stranger that lures the young wolf into a trap.

The real enemy is the humankind.

There is a story inside the story that explains the main plot: one in the humans perspective and other in the wolf’s “real” perspective.

It’s short but it shocks and delivers a powerful message. Good for Halloween reading to the kids, followed by a discussion about how appearances can be deceiving and there can be two sides to one story. Hear both sides before you judge the truth of it.

The little wolf in the red cape seems sweet but it goes on eating a cute dead rabbit. The appearance of harmless, innocent and cute is really deceiving in this story.

It’s surely not a Disney style retelling or a boring politically correct version.

A bit macabre but contains good advice, warning about dangers that exist in real life.

I saw this as a Read Now option on NetGalley and I went for it. So, I'd like to say thanks to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for providing me with a free e-copy to review. All my thoughts and opinions about The Little Red Wolf are 100% honest, and 100% my own.
The cover intrigued me on The Little Red Wolf, it just looked really pretty. I'm so glad I fell for that cover, because I really enjoyed the book. I guess it would be categorized as a picture book, and it was beautiful. All of the illustrations were gorgeous. I loved the colors, how the drawings filled up the pages. It was just really, really pretty.
As for the story, it was dark, but at the same time cute. It was a twist on Little Red Riding Hood, where the wolf is the vulnerable little creature going to visit Grandma. There really wasn't a whole lot of text in the story, it depended a lot on the illustrations to tell it, or really enhance it.
This was a very cute book with fantastic illustrations. I'd definitely recommend it. It's just so pretty! Thank you Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley for providing me with an e-copy to review.
BOOKCITEMENT LEVEL 4/5
Gorgeous Illustrations. So Pretty!

I received an arc copy from Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an honest review. I want to thank them for giving me the opportunity to read this unique book.

The Little Red Wolf is a fairy tale retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. As you can guess from the title, a wolf is now the protagonist. It's a wonderful retelling with gorgeous illustrations by Amélie Fléchais. The illustrations alone make this book worth your while. They are so colourful and enchanting, I could look at them all day.

The fairy tale itself is a beautiful retelling and it turns known truths upside down. It's a story about how each of us can perceive things differently and how this impacts our actions.

Even though I enjoyed this book, I wish it had been longer. I felt the characters could have been developed more. We do get a glimpse of what they are really like, but I need more to fully appreciate a character.

Why should you read The Little Red Wolf? I believe it's the perfect book to share with your children (on Halloween). The illustrations are by far my favourite part about this book. They are glorious and so vivid! I wish I could frame them all!

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Thank you Netgalley for keeping me in touch with the child in me. I read this book simply due to its beautiful cover and intriguing storyline.
While we are all aware of the classic version of the little red riding hood, this is a spin off of the same tale. Our little wolf is lost in the woods and the story follows what happens after.
The graphics are very unique and totally capture the attention of a reader. It is a fun read for children and even adults. It has a strong message and is conveyed rather well.
The highlight are the graphics.

OMG. YASS. This book was everythinggggg. I loved itt.
Who hasn't heard the story of Little red riding hood? This is a wonderful and twisted retelling about a little wolf charmed by a pretty-not so pretty-girl. Even though, you may think that you know pretty well this story, I am sure you don't. Not only the roles are switched, but the story has a different atmosphere. This is a darker version, similar to the original one(not the one from Disney).
I loveddd the artwork, it was so cool.

This is the classic story of "Red Ridding hood" but with a twist. In this story, Red is the wolf and the wolf are humans. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I started reading this book to my daughter (she is yrs old) and at some point, Red is eating some rabbits and my daughter was like "What?" it was funny to see but she was kind of like "but why? poor little rabbits, did they die?" so I still read her the story and maybe I changed a few things to make it less scary. She still liked the illustrations and I mean Red Riding Hood is a classic that children should know. I really loved it.

Great little illustrated tale - a simple tale but a fitting one. It reminded me of Emily Carroll's horror stories with less horror, leaving a lot of the story's imaginative work to the reader, but not without ample imagery to fuel it with.

While the art was very beautiful and I could look at it for hours the retelling felt a bit lacking. I like the idea of switching the roles of little red riding hood and the wolf though and was very excited for the book.

The art is absolutely adorable! I love the story too. This is a good book, although I find it to be a little dark for the younger children despite the cute graphics.

I read a digital copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. It is a short children's story with gorgeous illustrations. With a theme along the lines of there being two sides to every story, the book abruptly ends after revealing a bit of a twist. At 80 pages, the book seems long, but it is predominately a children's book. I think this will appeal to parents or older children looking to read to the young ones in their life.

I got a taste of who the characters are, but I would have liked to get to know the little wolf better. He seemed like a sassy little thing, but that might be my assumption based off one or two illustrations. Four stars for the abrupt ending and that I'm left wanting a little more about the wolf and his family.

This is a fun inversion of "Little Red Riding Hood" where the wolves are the hunted and the humans are the monsters in the forest. It was really cute.

This seems to be marketed as a graphic novel, but IMO, it's really more like a long picture book.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to review the ARC.

The artwork in this graphic novel retelling of Little Red Riding Hood is absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, the story did not quite match the quality of the illustrations. While I loved the main character and found him charming, the "twist" and the ending left me somewhat confused and disappointed. I wanted to love this story but it just didn't meet my hopeful expectations.

This graphic novel is a retelling of the famous fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood with switched roles: that means that a little wolf is the main character and the humans are the bad guys.
I found this story really cute and thoughtful; a change in perspective is enough for all the events to be different and I think this book teaches you that not everything is what it usually is (not every wolf is evil, not every human is good).
The drawings are really cute and suit the story perfectly. This is a heartwarming story, perfect for children and even adults may gain some benefits from reading it.

This is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood from the wolf's perspective. The little wolf heads off to his grandmother's house with a rabbit because she is old and can no longer hunt. Garbed in his red hooded cape, he is warned by his father to stay clear of the dead woods so he won't run into the hunter or his daughter. Of course, like any child, he daydreams, follows animals and other things until he is lost and has eaten the rabbit himself. Along comes a sweet, polite young girl to help him on his way as well as replace the rabbit he has eaten, or has she?

The illustrations remind me of those in the old Grimm fairytale books I grew up. The young wolf is very trusting and a bit naive, and the girl is tricky and not what she seems to be. Children can learn not to trust everyone and everything as well as the importance of listening to their parents' warnings. This can also be used in a middle grades classroom when studying fairytales. An introduction to fractured fairytales and rewritten tales would be a great use of this book. A wonderful addition to a public, school, class or family library.

What a dark, sad, twisted little fairy tale. I really adored this picture book. It is meant for children I can only assume, but it is such a sad story. There is no sugar coating here like in a lot of kid books. It is dark like how most old fairy tales are. I loved how it was the classic story told in reverse with the humans being the bad people. I wonder if we could understand animals would this be how they see us?

The artwork was so beautiful.

An interesting take on the Little Red Riding Hood story. The story is about a wolf who is on his way to his grandma's house with a bunny to eat. The illustrations were absolutely spectacular and the story leaves a bit behind to ponder.

I got this through netgalley after a friend recommended it to me, proclaiming it was one of the best books she'd ever gotten off the page - and honestly, I agree 100%.

The novel retells the story of Little Red Riding Hood, though the tables have turned, giving us The Little Red Wolf, warned against the terrible humans as he's heading off to visit his grandmother.

The illustrations are not quite eerie, and at times warm and comforting, but at the same time, feel they feel almost otherworldly.
The story is lovely - and, like the illustrations, it feels familiar, yet strange and surprising, with a somewhat different twist from what I were expecting.
