A collection of poems about the summer of an awful ogre. The illustrations are wonderful with many things for a child to look at and look for over-and-over. This would be an excellent book to read to a young child as he or she wanders through his or her childhood getting in trouble and making messes. And even Awful Ogre goes to visit his grandma every now-and-again.
Merit: Rhymes aid in children's recognition of words. Illustrations give them plenty to consider and enjoy.
Share: A bit long for story time, but a good bedtime story.
Appeal: Messy and disgusting, ogres are fun to observe, though maybe not run into.
