Wake up and smell the terrible morning breath. Awful Ogre is starting his day, and it is guaranteed to be huge, horrible, and completely hilarious. Follow this massive, lovable monster as he goes about his daily routine, which is anything but normal. You will get to see how he grooms himself, watch him practice his unique style of dancing, and even read over his shoulder as he writes a very strange letter. Awful Ogre packs more excitement, bizarre emotion, and gross out fun into a single afternoon than most people do in a whole year. Through clever, bouncy poems, you will discover that even though he acts tough and awful, he has a heart that readers cannot help but love. It is a wildly entertaining look at the daily life of a truly unforgettable beast.

School is out, the sun is shining, and your favorite massive monster is entirely ready for an unforgettable summer vacation. Awful Ogre is back, and he is bringing his unique brand of gross, hilarious chaos to all his favorite warm weather activities. Join him as he goes on a deeply romantic picnic with a lovely ogress, wrestles with a fierce crocodile, and heads over to Grandma's house for a delightful snack of dried weasel. You can even watch him attempt some ogre yoga or take a refreshing dip in the pool with his beloved pet piranha. Packed with incredibly catchy rhymes and wonderfully bizarre situations, these poems prove that an awful summer can actually be completely awesome. Dive right into the monstrous fun and celebrate a season filled with laughs, bugs, and pure Ogre energy.
