This story was adorable and I loved it!!!! A fantastic dual perspective of the little red riding hood story.

This story is loosely based on "Little Red Riding Hood", only here we have a little wolf in a red cape as the main character. He is sent to bring food to his grandmother because she is old and cannot hunt for herself anymore. Then follows a typical story of a child being typically careless and not heeding advice, but also of selfishness and danger.

The ending had a very nice twist to it and made this story truly be about the monsters we think we see and the monsters we can become ourselves. And it's about appearances and being careful.

I think the main attraction here is the art. It's not 100% to my taste but it's kinda cute and I liked the details of the forest as well as the colour combination. It also has a good combination of round and sharp edges, highlighting certain elements.

A nice and modern twist on an old and very good fairytale, maybe making the story more accessible to some young readers nowadays.

The Little Red Wolf (ebook)
by Amélie Fléchais
Another book to look into the fractured stories of Little red riding hood. Like other attempts of changing things to the wolf's point of view, this book is a play on seeing things from another perspective. That the innocent little girl may not be as uniquely innocent as believed from the original story and that the wolf had a different reason and purpose for going to his grandmothers house. The pictures are cute, and the story adaptation is one teachers can use in the classroom to help change perspective.

The Little Red Wolf by Amélie Fléchais is full of gorgeous glowy art. The details are incredibly complex and every page has little things to discover, from tiny mice in an underground cave to the fabric patterns on the father's cloak. The story itself is a lesson in looking at a story from both sides and hearing everyone's view point. It is effectively taught but better for an older child.

A beautiful retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Raw, sad, and enchanting!

The art is simply beautiful and the little red wolf is adorable. This is the story of a little wolf sent to deliver a rabbit. It turns into a bit of an adventure that I am not sure is really for children. It is a tale of families and opposing sides of a single story. Four stars because the ending felt a little abrupt but I love the transformation of the story most are familiar with into this dark and beautiful book.

What can I say about this? I've never been a fan of retellings but this one, oh my, was wonderful!
The plot, the storyline, the events were great.
It is about the story of a family of wolves living in the roots of a tree, their little one is always wearing a red cap so he's called "Little Red Wolf". When his mum sends him to his granny to deliver a little rabbit, she doesn't forget to warn him to be careful not to talk to any human under any condition, especially the huntsman and his little daughter. Through his journey, the Little Red Wolf starts to feel hungry so he decides to eat only the rabbit's feet, but little by little, he ate all of it and when he realised what he's done, he started to cry, that's when a sweet little girl appeared. What's gonna happen?

The illustrations, those were my favorites! All done in dark watercolor painting, it was something mysterious and wonderful to look at.

Absolutely gorgeous illustrations are the best part of this spin on Little Red Riding Hood. The story initially reminded me a little of Beatrix Potter, whose animal characters regard humans as a nuisance at the least and as a menace at the worst. The ending was a trifle deus ex machina for me, but the moral was especially resounding.

Wonderful new take on the famous Red Riding Hood story. The artwork was fantastic and the little wolf adorable. I very much enjoyed reading it. Shows wonderfully how a situation can be misinterpreted by humans.

In a classic switch, or perhaps better said a reversal of roles, the Little Red Wolf is actually Little Red Riding Hood, and humans are the wolves. He’s charged with taking a rabbit to his toothless grandmother, but of course gets distracted. Not only does he get lost, he eats grandma’s dinner. A human girl finds him and leads him out of the woods, but not all is as it seems. Like most wars, each side has their own version of the truth.
The story is intriguing, but the overly stylized artwork—all lines and sharp angles, maybe a Navaho influence—is strange enough to distract from the story.

I am drawn to retellings of familiar stories, so I was immediately drawn to read this one. There is much to like about this story, and I adored the beautiful art that accompanied it. The messages of fear and intolerance are important, but I'm not sure if the abrupt ending of the story does justice to these themes.

This is a heartbreakingly beautiful illustrated fairy tale with a twist. The story is based on Little Red Riding Hood and is both lovely and bittersweet. I was expecting it to be more of a graphic novel, but it is a children's illustrated book. However, the enchanting illustrations make it suitable for adults as well as children.

WOW.. just wow. The writing, the storytelling, the drawings, all of them were amazing. I love this retelling of the little red riding hood. It kind of reminds me of the movie Brother Bear because it gives you perspective on what a wolf might think of humans. The illustrations were so detailed and beautiful. Although the 2nd half of the book might be a little scary for little kids so I would recommend this book so kids around 6 or 7 ish and above.

Absolutely gorgeous art that draws you in from the beginning, ranging from sun-dappled, beautiful forest scenes to stark moonlit flashbacks.

There are picture books that are meant for children, and there are picture books that are clearly intended for adults, and then there are also picture books that cater to my inner art-starved 5-year old with their intricate illustrations. The Little Red Wolf is a combination of all of these!

A gorgeously illustrated picture book inspired by Little Red Riding Hood. It started off whimsical but then got pretty dark. I loved it as an adult, but I think little kid me would have gotten nightmares.

The ending also felt a bit abrupt. But I did like the twist.

I really like this different take on the Little Red Riding Hood story from a wolves perspective. It was fun, beautifully drawn, and with a bit of a tragic ending.

While I loved the stunning illustrations, I was disappointed with the story itself--a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood that teaches us that there are two sides to every story.

This book is so perfect it left me speechless.
The content of this story is profound. The lessons we learn are so valid for life.
It is about the consequences of our reckless actions, revenge and the importance of knowing both sides of a story to fully understand someone.

The drawings were perfect,unbelievably wonderful.

I strongly recommend it for anyone, children, adults, everyone. It really moved me.

Thank you to the author and illustrator for creating this, the publishers and netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read such work of art.

A retelling of Little Red Riding hood but with a young wolf as the central character.

I was intrigued by the premise of this book, especially since I always love fairytale retellings, and I thought the idea of a wolf being warned not to stray lest he cross the path of human hunters was so interesting and creative. The illustrations were absolutely stunning. The watercolors allowed the images to be both ethereal and sinister as the story and the lighting changed throughout the book.

The book is quite dark, which isn't necessarily a nonstarter for children's lit (really a lot of it has some dark moments), but my issue has more to do with the ending. The book ends quite abruptly with a dark revelation. My feeling is generally that with children's lit darkness is fine as long as the ending is hopeful-- I think that still could've been achieved with this book if it had just gone on a little father, maybe following up the ednding revelation with the little wolf's return home with his father. I think the book was originally written in French and this is a translation, though, so it's possible there are some cultural differences in views on children's lit.

All in all I thought it was a beautiful book with an interesting story, but I really wish it had gone on just a little farther after the ending.
