A picnic with a lovely ogress, followed by bug hunts and crocodile wrestling . . .
A visit to Grandma, who serves her famous moldy bread and dried weasel . . .
A dip in the neighborhood pool with his precious pet piranha . . .
And . . . ogre yoga?
Awful Ogre is back, and awfully excited to share his action-packed summer with you!
The mischievous Jack Prelutsky and Paul O. Zelinsky transport readers once again to a world that is irresistibly gross and awesomely awful, starring the endearing, unforgettable Awful Ogre!
