The Big Bad Wolf and Me Hardcover – August 28, 2006

What a fantastic book, my daughter (4.5 yro) was reading it for the first time she absolutely LOVED it. At the end of the book she said "Goodness me, what a surprising ending" and laughed out loud. Now she is very hard to satisfy , so if she liked it it's absolutely fantastic! the simple dialog and the drawings brings the change of emotions so clearly. she even like the little jokes in the dialog. I really liked the message driveled at the end. I will be looking for more books like this if they exist.

THE BIG BAD WOLF AND ME is an adorable sort of fairy tale re-telling, of the idea of the classic wolf from numerous famed fairy tales. Perret and Rowan have found a clever way to take a well know but one dimensional character and modernize him by expanding his story. I read this to my 4 year old twin boys tonight before bed and they absolutely loved it as did I. The wolf comes to life in story as well as in the fantastic little illustrations. What a fun book... Well done!

Not totally what I expected but with a kid who has been obsessed with bbw for years.... He loved it!

The language and grammar leave room for improvement. But! The story and cleverness engage the reader to want to read.

A wonderful book for children that leaves the reader laughing aloud.

I bought this book at our local bookstore mainly because I was so impressed with it as an adult. My (almost) 7 year old daughter took a few readings with which to get into it but that it what I find so fantastic about the way that it is written and illustrated. Having to read the same books over and over for a small child can become tedious for a parent and this is one of the rare stories which is timeless and yet told from a completely new and unique perspective. (Plus it reminds me quite a bit of my little manipulator and how she would have plied a wolf with the cookies.)This is a wonderful find for both children and their parents alike.

My son is 8 years old and this book is a real hit. We have read it many times and it's fun every time. The book is in a cartoon format, and the dialog reminds me very much of Calvin and Hobbes. The relationship between the boy and the wolf is entertaining and funny, and a new reader can easily participate in the voices. The humor is simple enough for children to understand, but sophisticated enough to appeal to parents. This one is a winner -- we look forward to more from Delphine Perret.

It is always fun to find a book that has global appeal in its humor. This is a book that can be enjoyed by the reader and the small child as well. The humor is clever, silly, and fun. With a few sentences on each page and several simple illustrations on each page this book reads like a cartoon strip. Children like the fact that the boy has control over the Big Bad Wolf. They ask to have this one read over and over again. Early readers can handle this one on their own.

Great to see this wonderful writer and artist has now appeared in English. If you know French do read her other titles as you will be completely addicted!
