Kirkus Reviews (STARRED review) As funny and as exquisitely put together as Edmond Bigsnout himself. School Library Journal A big, bad wolf story with a big-hearted ending. Great for read-alouds and small group sharing. Publishers Weekly French writer Naumann-Villemin's story seesaws between neighborliness and menace, and Di Giacomo (Have You Seen My Trumpet?) is along for the ride, giving Edmond sharp fangs--and a dapper tuxedo--while alternating between shadowy, thriller-worthy moments and Edmond's humorous interactions with the building's residents. Eventually, gentility, vegetarianism, and the prospect of romance win out, delivering a happy ending for wolf and rabbit alike. Horn Book Guide The story, whose meticulous illustrations accommodate humor and menace, is a whip-smart merger of fairy-tale motifs and modern-day mores.
