Shrek!
by William Steig (Author) William Steig (Illustrator)
Horribly hideous Shrek leaves home and terrifies everyone he encounters in his search for an equally ugly bride.
Shrek, a horrid little ogre, goes out into the world to find adventure and along the way encounters a witch, a knight in armor, a dragon, and, finally, a hideous princess, who's even uglier than he is!

Kirkus
Not since Briggs's Fungus the Bogeyman (1979) has there been such an original--and comical--reexamination of the reverse world of monsterdom.
Hornbook
This satire is written with Steig's unerring sense of style and illustrated with pleasingly horrid pictures of the lumpy, repulsive Shrek.
