Featuring the early days of fairy tale characters we know and love, showing them in a whole new light. In Little Bad Wolf we meet Wolfie, who eats everything that annoys him! When Little Red steals his beloved swishy red cloak it’s only a matter of time before we see the events of the original fairy tale unfold, though with few redemptive twists.

This is a funny picture book that will have readers young and old seeing how many classic fairy tale references they can spot while enjoying the bright illustrations of the mischievous Wolfie and friends. It’s an entertaining story perfect for readers who love fairy tales while also delivering a fresh new take on the classics.

I laughed out loud at the final cheeky illustration. I think Little Bad Wolf is mischievous and fun, a joyous and playful reimagining. I wonder who else will feature in this series?

These funny and original stories turn familiar tales upside down, exploring how the heroes - and villains - became the legends we know today.
