The Little Red Wolf

Reviews / Votes

LET'S TALK ABOUT PICTURE BOOKS -- A twist on the old
tale, Flechais explores what happens when a young wolf sets out on a
journey to bring his grandmother a rabbit and finds himself charmed by a
"helpful" little girl who turns out to be far less than helpful. This is a much
darker version of the tale, both in tone and in color. The illustrations are
rife with blacks, dark blues, and shadows, leaving readers minds open to
guessing what will happen next. The text never takes center stage despite its
fancy font, and this book lends itself well for children learning how to read
illustrations.
