    About this audiobook

    Norton Juster-the acclaimed author of such children's classics as The Phantom Toll Booth and The Hello, Goodbye Window-tells the story of a really rotten ogre. Huge and ugly, the angry ogre is always hungry-and utterly merciless. As he greedily gobbles up the people in his path, he seems unstoppable. And then one day, the ogre takes a wrong turn and encounters a kind and friendly young lady who does her best to help him.

      Example of an illustrated book that is intended for older readers. Everyone is scared of the ogre because of the rumors they've heard. One brave girl tries to befriend him, but he thinks she is being nice to him to trick him.
