What is Shrek! (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) about?

<p><p>before Shrek Made It Big On The Solver Screen, There Was William Steig&#8217;s <i>shrek!</i></p><h3>publishers Weekly</h3><p>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 Contempla
