Book Reviews of Zeralda's Ogre

Book Review: Ogre's Like Children--As a Meal, of Course
Summary: 5 Stars

"Once upon a time there lived a lonely ogre. Like most ogres he had sharp teeth, a bristling beard, a big nose, a big knife, a bad temper, and a huge appetite. Of all things, he liked little children for breakfast the best" (from text).

And he wanted to eat little Zeralda, too. But, fortunately for her, he made a mistake. And as a result of this mistake he never ate little children--or anybody--again. Zeralda had a lot to do with this change of eating habit. She didn't outsmart him or use magic, but she did eventually fall in love with and marry him. Can you imagine that! (This folktale-like picture book will be thoroughly enjoyed by primary grade students, especially as a read-aloud.)

Summary of Zeralda's Ogre

For weeks now, all the children in town have been hiding in trunks, barrels, and basements to avoid becoming the hungry ogre's breakfast. All the children, that is, except one, Zeralda, who lives in a clearing in the woods and doesn't know much about ogres. But then this ogre doesn't know very much about Zeralda, either! When they finally come face to face, marvelously funny things begin to happen.
