![]() ![]() Also, I felt like the character development was not as strong in this book as it was in the movie and the audience might not feel any kind of bond towards the characters in this book. Shrek seem more repulsive in this book than he was in the movie and that aspect of his character sort of made him a less likable character in the book, while in the movie, Shrek was a more benevolent ogre who was upset at the way that people treated him and that made him a very likable character in the movie. Also, another con of this book is that, in my opinion, it was not as memorable as the movie which is why I gave it a four star rating. Even though jack- is used to describe a donkey in this book, the way that the “a” word is being used now might confuse smaller children and might even entice them to say the word so often. Parents should know that this book does contain the word jack- and that might offend many parents who do not want their children learning such a word. William Steig makes this book extremely unique as it was one of the few books to have a repulsive character as the main character of the story. William Steig makes this story extremely hilarious and full of attitude as Shrek is a character who loves being repulsive and scaring off innocent bystanders, but at the same time, he gives a powerful message to the audience about loving yourself as Shrek loves his own repulsiveness, even if other people do not like his repulsiveness. I also love the images of the trees in this book as they look simplistic yet beautiful, giving this book a somewhat simplistic tone. William Steig’s illustrations are truly beautiful and hilarious especially of the images of Shrek himself as he has a green and warty face, a purple shirt and yellow and green striped pants, which make him, look more hilarious than menacing. William Steig has done a great job at both illustrating and writing this modern day fairy tale that is full of attitude. “Shrek!” is a great book for children who love reading books about monsters. “Shrek!” is another memorable classic book from the great mind of William Steig and it is about how Shrek, a repulsive ogre, tries to find the princess to marry after he leaves his parents’ home. William Steig’s illustrations are truly beautiful and hilarious especially of the images of Shrek himself a There was also quite a bit of poetry in the story that was very witty.more I think it’s a singular idea and so I gave it 4 stars too. The nephew gave this 5 stars and the niece gave it 4 stars, it almost made 5 stars. It’s pretty fantastic really.īoth kids had fun with this story. It all came from this idea by William Steig. Whoever was the screenwriter for this book made it into a billion dollar industry. ![]() We meet donkey and the ugly princess and a witch. ![]() The artwork is repulsive too and it really fits the story perfectly. This is the 90s and most stories are about good things, so this is one of the first children’s books I can think of with an anti-hero. It’s not easy to read, or… I’m tired one or the other. There are no real puns, but he uses some tongue twisting great language. This is different, but the characters and the thrust of the story is about the same. If you are expecting the movie you will be disappointed. The artwork is repulsive too and it r I read this to the family. ![]() ![]()
