About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
No doubt about it, Shrek is the ugliest guy in town. Everywhere he goes,
people and animals flee. If his hideous appearance does not immediately fell
them, the smoke belching from his ears and his "putrid blue flame" sends even
the mighty--including "a whopper of a dragon"--packing. Yet Shrek is
inordinately proud of his green knobby head and loathsome figure, and he roams
the countryside having the kind of fun that only tormenting the vulnerable can
provide. Hearing a witch prophesy that he will marry a princess who is even
uglier than he is, Shrek is intrigued, and he sets out to find this repulsive
bride. When they finally meet, the two break into heartfelt declarations of
mutual admiration. ("Your horny warts, your rosy wens, / Like slimy bogs and
fusty fens, / Thrill me.") Of course, they "got hitched as soon as possible."
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.
