The Last Wolf Reviews

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 *
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 *
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 *
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 *
