PRELUTSKY, JACK
It's pouring. The wind is blowing down trees. Awful Ogre's rattlesnake wakes him. He tickles his piranha, scatters his rats, and disengages his leeches. Another wonderful day is about to begin. Awful Ogre, huge, hungry, horribleand totally lovable, will steal the heart of every reader. Larger than lifelarger, in fact, than all other ogres, Awful Ogre packs into one day enough excitement, imagination, emotion, and sheer ebullience to last most of us a lifetime. Illustrayed by Paul O. Zelinsky. New York Public Library's One Hundred Titles for Reading and Sharing, a School Library Journal Best Book, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book.
