Review Quote

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.
Other text

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.
