Awful Ogre Running Wild
by Jack Prelutsky, illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky
Ages 4-8 40 pages Greenwillow June 2008 Hardcover    

Awful Ogre is back! From a storm-clouded picnic to a dip with his pet piranha, children will delight in the conflict-crammed, sickening summertime antics of this energetic ogre in Awful Ogre Running Wild.

Jack Prelutsky’s zany poetry moves from one silly verse to the next, while Paul O. Zelinsky’s outrageous watercolor art brings each gruesome escapade to life. This is the second time the two have collaborated on Awful Ogre’s behalf, and hopefully it won’t be their last. For anyone who’s had a “delightful awful summer,” this book is a terrifically terrible treat.
