About This Book
In William Steig's original picture book, a hideously ugly ogre is sent out into the world by his parents and sets off on a quest through the countryside, frightening everyone he meets. Along the way he encounters a witch, a knight, and a dragon before finding his equally hideous true love.
Why We Love This
Steig's gloriously grotesque illustrations and irreverent humor make this the perfect antidote to saccharine fairy tales - kids adore how gleefully gross it is.
