From Abie Longstaff, creator of the bestselling Fairytale Hairdresser series, comes a laugh-out-loud new picture book series that reimagines the early lives of classic fairy-tale characters. These funny and original stories turn familiar tales upside down, exploring how the heroes – and villains – became the legends we know today. The Big Bad Wolf hasn’t always been bad, but with his sharp teeth, short temper and a naughty Little Red stealing his special cloak, it might only be a matter of time… Full of adventure, mischief, and a big bad twist, Little Big Bad Wolf is the perfect read for children who love fairy tales with a fresh, playful edge – and a dash of trouble! Join Little Wolfie and his school friends as we learn what The Big Bad Wolf was like before the fairy tale.
