The Odious Ogre by Norton Juster (story) and Jule Feiffer (art); picture book; 32 pages
The Phantom Tollbooth is one of my favorite books. It's a book that I literally read to pieces growing up, then got my hand on another copy and started all over again. So when I learned that Juster and Feiffer were teaming up again, I had to check out the result. This is the story of a ogre with such a terrible reputation that everyone just gives him what he wants without his having to lift a finger. Then, one day, he meets a girl that hasn't heard about him. It's a lot of fun, and the art is, of course, half of it.
