The Little Red Wolf by Amélie Fléchais
5.0

I'm not sure that I would call this a graphic novel so much as a morbidly adorable children's book! The Little Red Wolf is, as you may have guessed from the cover, a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood - except, in this story, the little wolf is visiting his grandmother, when a wicked little girl tricks him!

This book was precious, and I loved the artwork so much. It was incredibly unique and would make a great "coffee table book" - you know, the sorts of books that are so pretty you just leave them out to look at them? (No? Just me? Hm...) I would totally buy a hard copy of this to read to my son as a bedtime story, honestly, because even though it does have a little morbidity to it, it isn't scary at all and I think most kids would really enjoy it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!
