Description



About the Book



The picture book that inspired the hit animated feature films from DreamWorksand started the Shrek phenomenon is back in this enchanting new edition. Fullcolor.



Book Synopsis



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.
