Three short, easy-to read stories about a little girl and her adventures with a hairy gray ogre resonate with a satisfying tone. In one story, May Belle drags the dirty ogre into a bath, in another she insists he bake a pie to make up for the two he stole, and in the last she wins over the little monster and asks him to stay. The amusing pictures show a snub-nosed girl who lives in a house in the woods.
