Once upon a time, Little Red set off into the woods to catch a wolf...

But the woods aren't all they seem - and are there even any wolves left? Mini Grey re-imagines the classic Little Red Riding Hood fable in an entirely new way. Can Little Red help her new friends in need and recover the wild days of the past?

This is a powerful, moving and funny picture book which will have children and adults revisiting its exquisite pages time and time again, and discussing the important message it holds. From the award-winning author/illustrator of The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon, The Pea and the Princess and Biscuit Bear.

Reviews for The Last Wolf

Perfect for five to seven year olds, this is a wonderfully illustrated, gentle page-turner that encourages reading. It also carries important messages about rediscovering the wild, the value of nature in our lives and how even small steps canc make a difference. * Rewilding Britain * This is a powerful, moving and funny picture book which will have adults and children revisiting its exquisite pages time and time again, and discussing the important messages it holds. * Reading Zone * In this powerful and emotive tale by Mini Grey, the evident issues surrounding our wildlife are touched upon in a sensitive and acessible manner for emerging and young readers. Coupled with Mini Grey's humour-filled, jam-packed illustrations, this picture book is sure to strike a chord with readers of all ages. Mini Grey produces some of the highest quality picture books around and The Last Wolf is no exception. * Picture Books Blogger * A fun re-telling of a very feisty Red Riding Hood and the rather sorry state of the wolf, teetering on the edge of extinction. A subtle message on conservation that sits perfectly with this age-old story. * Angels & Urchins * The Last Wolf ranks alongside Mini Grey's other picture book masterpieces, with all her trademark rich, characterful illustration, quirky humour and perfect pacing. The story has an environmental message but is in no way preachy or boring, and the final spreads have a real sense of poignancy. * Book Trust *
