Although our library has this title cataloged as a juvenile fiction, I would consider it a graphic novel for young children. This has translated well from the original French. A young boy encounters what he thinks is a dog on his way home from school. When he talks to the dog, the animal replies "I am not a dog. Leave me alone." As the conversation continues, the animal insists "I am the big bad wolf! (You know, the really scary one?). But, no one believes in the big bad wolf anymore, so what is he to do? He moves in with the boy and lives in his closet and eats chocolate chip cookies. And there begins an unusual friendship and story. It is lots of fun.

Minimalist and episodic. Briefly interrogates the idea of characters like the Big Bad Wolf.

Cute, almost graphic novel style (panels), chapters, sweet ending

Ma série chouchou !
Des dessins en noir et blanc, simples et efficaces !
Une histoire et des dialogues hilarants !

Sweet story about a little boy who encounters a wolf on his way home from school. The wolf (Bernard aka Zorro) is sad because nobody is afraid of him anymore so the little boy takes him home to live in his closet, feed him chocolate chip cookies and teach the wolf how to be scary again. Very cute!

The Big Bad Wolf And Me is a great book for children as it turns the big bad wolf story on its head. The story follows a young boy who finds a small black dog on his way home from school, but the dog turns out to be the fabled "Big Bad Wolf". Except no one believes in him anymore, so he is small, weak and afraid. The boy takes him in and goes about feeding him and training him to become the big bad wolf again, even though the wold has a bad attitude and wants no help. Eventually the wolf regains his confidence, and the boy gains a friend. The illustrations are very simple, and each short section is separated by chapter. This story give children a whole new perspective to the Big Bad Wolf tale.

Great picture book for all ages. My 3, 5, and 7 year old boys all love it.

The Big Bad wolf and me is the story of a little boy who finds The Big Bad Wolf, takes care of him and teaches him to be scary again.

This story is really cute and I would recommend it for young readers because the language is easy and there aren’t any topics too deep. That being said, while I would recommend it and probably read it again to kids, I personally didn’t love it. The boy is a pretty good character but the big bad wolf has some inconsistencies in his character.

A fun humorous comic looking at the Big Bad Wolf in a new light.

A great reading for kids and best accompany when recovering from the aftermath of another good book.

Moui. Ça aurait pu être top, y avait un gros potentiel, mais je ne suis pas vraiment convaincue... Pas mal, mais sans plus, quoi.
