This beautifully illustrated book is a "twisted tales" version of Little Red Riding Hood (La Finta Nonna, in the Italian version as later recorded by Italo Calvino, and Le Petit Chaperon Rouge in the French version by Charles Perrault, cited as the inspiration for Amélie Fléchais' version). In this short picture book, it is a little red-hooded wolf who is tricked and trapped by the cruel daughter of a huntsman, rather than vice-versa. It is a rather macabre tale and I'm not sure that it is one that I would read to a young child, due to the revelation of the little girl's mother's accidental death in the story. Older children may have an appreciation for the role reversal of the classic fairy tale.

In a twist on the classic tale, Little Red Wolf is sent to bring a fat, juicy rabbit to his grandmother's house, but loses his way only to run into a golden haired little girl...

The illustrations are BEAUTIFUL. I think this is supposed to be a children's book, but it's pretty dark and there are some borderline gorey parts. I would not read this to my 3 year old because it would give him nightmares for sure, but I'd definitely thrust a copy into the hands of my fairy-tale minded friends. The song the little girl sings is ... strange ... and the ending of the story is very abrupt. Based on the story alone I'd probably give this only 3 stars, but the illustrations are so very gorgeous and intricate that I want to give it 5, so I'm settling on averaging my rating out to 4 stars.

An absolutely gorgeous book with an interesting reversal of the classic tale, with multiple little twists throughout the story.

This is an alternate version of Little Red Riding Hood A little wolf in a red cape with a hood is taking a rabbit to his grandmother. He loses his way and is found by a little girl. The tale unfolds with all the flavor of the original. Not only is this new version delightful, but the artwork s absolutely stellar. I love the artwork.

Fractured fairy tales are some of my favorite things and I'm all about graphic novels, so I was super stoked about this book. And at first I loved it. The wolf is cute. Even the bunny he's eating is cute. And I loved his justification for eating the rabbit he's meant to be taking to his grandma. Once he goes to the woodcutter's house, though, my affections waned. It's not just that it gets visibly and thematically dark. It's that it becomes increasingly complex and reliant on a sort of mythology that I didn't always get. Better for middle graders who are better equipped to understand a more complex morality.

The illustrations in this book are enchanting as well as artistic.
The story is perfectly written. The only reason I gave this book 4 stars rather than 5 is that I found the font to be a bit too small, but the writing and the gorgeous illustrations more than make up for that small flaw.

This tale about a young wolf who wears a red cape, just like Little Red Riding Hood, is quite dark & macabre, but gorgeous nonetheless. The illustrations are stunning & truly make the whole story. Recommend for older children, as it might be a tad scary for smaller ones. Great for teens & adults as well!

This is a beautifully illustrated children's novel about a little wolf dressed in red. The little wolf is sent to take food to his grandmother who can no longer hunt for herself. He is warned to stay on the path in order to avoid harm from the woodsman and his daughter. This short little story explores perceptions as you hear from both sides a similar but different tale.
This is a dark but beautifully illustrated novel that I can't wait to add to my library.

A slightly macabre twist on the traditional Little Red Hiding Hood tale, The Little Red Wolf is a story about a little wolf who, on the way to visit an ailing grandma, encounters an awful human girl. The message here is consistent with the original fable: there's a strong stranger danger warning, but also a reminder that every side has a story, every villain has an origin. The art is beautiful and dark; an additional add for collections where readers may be ready for darker fantasy.

It was quite a dark and depressing story, but the ART was absolutely beautiful!!

These illustrations were incredible. I loved the story on its own and it did not go where I expected it to! Together, this was a beautiful book full of surprises.

The art in this was entirely enchanting, and the story was such a lovely surprise!
This story is a reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood, but not the way you might expect at first. It's not from The Big Bad Wolf's perspective, but from that of a wolf cub who makes the same mistakes the girl does in the original telling of the fairy tale. Instead of falling victim to a furry predator, Little Red Riding Wolf is warned to stay away from the humans, but of course he doesn't heed his momma's warnings. I don't want to give anything away, but the ending doesn't go the way you expect it might.

I got a copy of this via Netgalley, and I am really glad I did.

The Little Red Wolf is an original fairy tale for children and adults alike (maybe more for the parents) with following the little red wolf as he is sent out to deliver a rabbit for his grandmother who is to old to hunt. Upon his travels the little wolf may face some problems along the way bringing an entertaining experience matched with wonderful artwork to be enjoyed by the reader.

This was a wonderful tale with inspiration from little red riding hood. I went in thinking that was what I was going to see in the story and it split off into a whole new story of it's own with a wonderful lesson that things are not always what they seem, along side to listen to your mother, especially when she tells you to avoid the humans who hate wolves.

I felt this was maybe more of a darker tale for children so it's probably aimed more at either the parents or just adults in general but I loved the dark take on the fairy tale along side the great art work.

Gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! The art in this graphic novel is so stunning! I read this as an e-book, and can only imagine how the printed version looks. There's a lot of detail on each page and you can tell the illustrator put a lot of TLC into drawing it.

The story was also well done. It's a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, but the roles are reversed. (The wolf is the one wearing the red cape and the little girl and father are the bad guys.) The little wolf isn't harmed in the end and neither is the father or the little girl. The humans actually have a sad back story that really adds to the tale.

Overall, I enjoyed this and can't wait to buy the print version.

Since I was little I loved the "Red Riding Hood" fairy tale, so I was glad when this arc has been approved to me. Thank you, NetGalley and Amelie Flechais for creating this book and giving others the possibility to read it.

The story is about a wolf cub who is sent by his mother to his grandmother to give her a bunny to eat, because she only has one tooth left and can't hunt anymore. His mother, however, tells the little red wolf (his hoody was red actually) to stay in the middle of the trail, not leaving it, and to stay away from the Hunter and his daughter.
So the little wolf starts his adventure. But on the way he starts chasing mouses and exploring the wood, so he loses the path. From here, the story gets more intense and funny at times. I won't give away any spoilers, but at the end there is a sudden turn of the story and the end is quite shocking. Not to mention that the artwork is pure heaven. I had to make some screenshots because they look amazing, and the little wolf it's the cutest animal I've seen lately.
I personally loved this story and I recommend it to everyone who loves mystery and adventure genre.
I give this book 4,5 stars, because it had only 80 pages.

The artworks are really cute and adorable. It's really cute. The plot is also really cute and a child on the bus saw me reading this and they wanted to read it too. The illustrations are really nice and really attracted to children. I would totally recommend this to tons of children.

I'm not quite sure what to call this since I saw it listed as a graphic novel, but it actually seemed more like a picture book, except it seemed kind of dark for children. Then again, I know nothing about children, so don't take my word on that. It did have a clear message in it about how there are two sides to every story, plus some other lessons if you want to look even deeper. Also, although there was a small story, the art seemed to be the focus. It looked kind of like watercolor (I'm not sure that it was, but that's the best comparison I can make with my limited knowledge of artistic mediums), and it was very fantastical and creepy, definitely matching the dark vibe of the story. But regardless of how this book would be classified, I couldn't resist trying this little twist on Little Red Riding Hood, and seeing a little girl depicted as the villain only added to the creepiness. The little wolf was adorable though, and I felt bad for the poor, little thing. I would say you might enjoy this if you like dark fairy tales and fantastical, creepy, watercolor-esque art.

The utterly gorgeous artwork in this book is done a great disservice by the clunky translation from the French. I would happily buy the entire book in French, or even without words, but the actual text weakens the book.
