I don't usually go for graphic novels, but this one completely worked for me.

Maybe because the drawings were simple.

Or more likely because all the characters are talking animals.

I'd seen a preview of this upcoming film (it's an anthology film, Le grand méchant renard et autres contes...), but didn't realize it was based on a comic until I ran into a copy of it in my local comic shop. Cute story, I loved the simple layouts and panels - it made me think about the variety of storytelling styles within comics. I thought there was an interesting underlying story about harassment and consent with regard to the fox and the chickens. The chickens are the only female characters in the story, and must take matters into their own hands since none of the other animals are willing to listen to their complaints about the fox (some of the other animals even enable his behavior). But, without giving too much away, the fox gets his comeuppance in the end so I'm satisfied in that regard. All in all a fun and lighthearted story, and I'm excited for the film!

C'était drôle et mignon, mais la violence des lois de la nature, j'arrive pas à l'accepter. Je vis dans un monde en guimauve.

J'ai relus cette bd, je l'aime toujours au temps, l'humour et simple efficace. Je trouve l'histoire belle et touchante. Les dessins sont très bien réaliser, mais surtout ce livre pour enfant ma fait rigoler.

A little silly, but kids will likely crack up.

This was cute but way too long. I liked how the author flipped stereotypes about foxes on their heads.

Hilarious, adorable and heart warming. The not so big or scary fox just wanted to at least nibble a chicken. Instead he ended up with 3 eggs. The plan was to eat them but when he started caring for them, the 3 three self proclaimed little foxes wiggled themselves into the fox’s heart. He promised 2 chicks to his mentor the since he helped him get the eggs. When the wolf realizes how attached the fox is to his chicks he decides to eat them. The fox came up with a plan to escape but this plan put the fox in danger. He did what any good parent would’ve done, he sacrificed himself. A story about adoption, having two families and going beyond expectations. I laughed the whole book! ❤️

3.5/5 stars

While you know where this book is going right off the bat, the journey is worth it. Renner's art is great and the fox's antics, it made me think of Looney Tunes cartoons, with Bugs and Daffy running around and getting whacked by things (or each other). Really fun read. Can't wait to see the animated version!

Entertaining and sweet.
