Summary

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.

“Steig's epigrammatic genius is given full rein in this engrossing and satisfying tale.” —Publishers Weekly

“An original--and comical--reexamination of the reverse world of monsterdom.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
