This audio edition includes narration by Stanley Tucci.
Before Shrek made it big on the silver screen, there was William Steig's SHREK!, a book about an ordinary ogre who leaves his swampy childhood home to go out and see the world.
Ordinary, that is, if a foul and hideous being who ends up marrying the most stunningly ugly princess on the planet is what you consider ordinary.
©1990 William Steig (P)2007 Macmillan AudioWhat the critics say
"Steig's epigrammatic genius is given full rein in this engrossing and satisfying tale. The implicit promise (or threat) of a sequel—perhaps detailing the exploits of the pair's offspring—is indeed delicious to contemplate." (Publishers Weekly)
"The fast-forward movement of the story and the inventive, challenging language, full of surprises, make this especially fun to read aloud." (School Library Journal)
