RAVE REVIEWS ARE IN: "Good, righteous, slightly disgusting fun." —Kirkus Reviews
For fans of SHREK, a big-hearted family story!
How to Be a Proper Ogre features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!
Mary Beth doesn’t quite fit in with her family of ogres. She’s not green. She’s not gross. She’s not scary.
But when Mary Beth has to stand up for herself and her family, she finds out she knows more than she thinks about how to be a proper ogre.
This hilarious modern fable about belonging and finding one’s voice is sure to entertain readers of all ages.
A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends
Critic Reviews
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
"[A] boisterous, affectionate celebration of family bonds as thicker than swamp water."--Publishers Weekly
"Good, righteous, slightly disgusting fun."--Kirkus Reviews*
"Familiar fairy-tale settings and character types ground the story, while clever details—a camera-toting Papa Ogre and brothers with a quirky command of language—add freshness and humor. ..Delightfully comic illustrations heighten the humor and action. Themes of self-acceptance, diversity, and not judging by appearances are handled with a light touch and a satisfying twist. Readers may come for the nose-picking ogres, but they’ll stay for a story that feels both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly new."--School Library Journal
