Short and beautiful picture book.

Not sweet like the little wolf is, but not too scary either. Perfect story to tell 3 to 5-year-olds on Halloween.

It’s very detailed, art-wise. The story is rather simple and the writing limited, but the style of the artist is awe-inspiring. I loved looking at all the little elements that formed the overall illustrations.

Because the story and narration are so short, we do not in fact get to know the little wolf, although we do get a sense of his personality. The same applies to the hunter and the girl.

It really is just a tale to read, enjoy and maybe think about for a couple of minutes, but not one to make you rethink what you know about fairytales.

The ending is rather abrupt, though understandably so, since there is a sudden twist that is meant to leave the readers shocked and it does do its trick…

Once again, outstanding artwork, but short, short tale! It does have eighty pages, and that is more than, let’s say, thirty, but you’ll see that it reads SUPER fast.

Which can be good, depending on what you want. I personally thought it would be a graphic novel, but no, it’s a picture book. When Goodreads shelves deceive you…

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.

A cute, backwards take on the classic Little Red Riding Hood Grimm's tale. It would be cute for older children. I enjoyed the art design and the pace of the story.

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.

Thank you NetGalley for the story (it still didn't work on my iPhone, but it's still a great story). Merci pour le roman.

Oooo!
(Je suis désolée que je n'avais pas écrit en beaucoup de temps). :/ (Sorry for not writing in a while. :/)

J'apprécie cet livre parce que le roman est mignon and les images sont belles! ^^

Un retelling (je ne sais pas le mot en français) pour toute le monde. :)

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 gorgeously illustrated story. I want to buy prints of various pages and hang them in a nursery, though I'm not certain this book is appropriate for a child. I simply stared at the pages, taking in the detail, depth, and beauty. I highly recommend this book simply because of the beauty of the pages. Even if you think you won't like the story, open the book to a page and then decide whether you want to see more illustrations.

The illustrations alone were nearly 5 stars. They told a lot of the story and kept me full engaged through the entire novella. If I were rating this story on the illustrations alone, I would be torn between a 4.5 and 5 star rating. The only issue I had with the illustrations is that sometimes they were a bit vague and thus when the words failed to convey the story, on a few occassions, the illustrations failed to fill in the gaps. I suspect the illustrations aren't supposed to tell the entire story, so I am more inclined to dock the star rating of the story than the illustrations. They often helped fill in gaps of the story, so they deserve a high rating. The only thing to note is that there are a few times when the illustrations are a 2 page layout. This is fine for the paper version of the book, but it was a bit challenging for the eARC version I had of this book. It's not impossible to get the point of those layouts, it's just not ideal.

The main flaw with this book is the story. The overall story line is well-done and a wonderful twist on the tale of red riding hood. The story itself is creative and well thought out, but there were flaws in the execution. Namely, the story was a bit choppy as there were points when there seemed to be omissions in the written narrative. Admitedly, one full page and one half page of my eARC were missing, so it could have been that which caused the issue, except, the first instance of choppiness comes before the first missing page. Here, either the illustration is supposed to tell this part of the story or there are written words missing. It was unclear to me what happened on this 2 page layout until several pages later when the narrative explained. There was at least one more instance where the story seemed to jump over some critical piece of knowledge.

Even with these issues, this is a book I highly recommend for readers who love fairy tale retellings and/ or readers who love incredibly well illustrated graphic novels. Before reading this book to a child, I would recommend reading it over yourself first and there are a few dark scenes that may not be appropriate for your child. A wonderfully done retelling.

I received an ARC from Diamond Book Distributors through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

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.
