| | Shrek, by William Steig, Children's Book author |
 | | 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 then he is! |
 | | What a pleasant present!") Perfectly pleased with his hideous self, Shrek finally gains entrance to the ugly princess' castle, and after an operatic duet, the two are united, the bride carrying a cactus for a bouquet. |
 | | So vile is he that "any snake dumb enough to bite him instantly got convulsions and died." Kicked out of the fl hole of his birth by his mom and dad, Shrek sets off on a cross-country trek to find the ugly princess whom a local witch has prophesied he will marry. |
