The Odious Ogre

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. An ogre meets his match in a fearless girl who treats him as an honored visitor and offers some sensible advice: "I'll bet if you brushed your teeth...[and] changed your attitude you'd be quite nice." Feiffer draws the girl with a delicate pen and limns the clumsy oaf in broad strokes. Word-maven Juster employs the ogre's "impressive vocabulary" to colorful advantage.
