(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky. Prelutsky follows Awful Ogre through his day ("My rats attack me as I rise / But scatter when I roar. / I boot my sweet tarantula / Across the stony floor"). Despite his size and fondness for the grosser side of life, Awful Ogre is not without artistic abilities. He dances, is musically inclined, and tends his garden of "carnivorous roses" and "overblown mold." Zelinsky gives Awful an exuberant bravado that blends well with his proud, confident voice.
