Shrek! William Steig 9780374466237 Books

OK, the drawings were sort of cute, and I wasn't expecting something the same as the movie but rather something different that would be outstanding in a different way.

What I got was a not particularly clever short story, with a vocabulary containing some words that must be 5th or 6th grade level (not good for "reading time" with the five-year-old) that didn't really say anything except "I can do a fairy tale backwards". They lived "horribly ever after", clever.

Am I being too harsh? Perhaps, but at least do yourself a favor and try to see a library copy before you plunk down money and reserve bookshelf space.

Shrek! William Steig 9780374466237 Books Reviews

Exactly as expected and arrived quickly
The movie may be loosely based on this the characters in this book, but it is definitely not the movie. That said, I like this book. I am a 27 year old man and I enjoyed laughing through this with my fiancé at a coffee shop and decided to buy it for a few dollars. I haven't opened it in a while, but if I remember right, there may be some child inappropriate parts, especially if you don't like exposing your child to more Grim's Fairytale type stuff.
This Shrek would never change the way he did in the movie where he becomes nice and has friends. The book is totally different than the movie, there's no fairytale characters and Shrek meets Donkey but briefly. While the princess is just ugly and doesn't start off as a beautiful human like in the movie. Just don't expect a long novel, it's a very short book.
A must buy and read, especially for teachers. Most kids know the movies, but not the origins of the ogre.
Shrek is the perfect read aloud. The word choice sizzles. The irony is hilarious. The illustrations cause giggles.
Bought this as a gift for a Director of SHREK The Musical, and was amazed that she and her cast didn't know the original source of the story. The Steig illustrations and story in this one are just too wonderful!
Daughter loves it, even though it's nothing like her beloved movie series...lol. She must have read it twenty times now. Thank you.
You know somebody once told me that the world was going to roll me, that I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. Granted, she was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead. Then the years started coming and they didn't stop coming, I was fed to the rules and I hit the ground running. I learned that it didn't make sense not to live for fun, because your brain may get smart but your head will get dumb. There's just so much to do, so much to see, so I asked myself what's wrong with taking the backstreets. You'll find that if you never know if you don't go. But more importantly, if you never shine, you'll never glow. Because hey now you're an all star, go get your game on and go play. Hey now, you're a rock star, get you show on to get paid. You'll see that in the end, all that glitters is gold and that only shooting stars break the mold.

Good book, 11/10 layers
