But who is still afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Author-illustrators like Philippe Corentin, Geoffroy de Pennart, and Mario Ramos modernize Le Petit Chaperon Rouge (Little Red Riding Hood), using humor to surprise the audience. The infamous predator that haunted Perrault’s tale continues to fascinate, but he has become so charming that he steals the spotlight from the little girl. How can we understand this move to reject the monstrosity of the wolf in favor of humanizing and even rehabilitating the figure who has long embodied absolute evil?
