Nicholas Heller and Jos. A. Smith invite you to the basement where twenty-six mischievous (and very hungry) ogres are eating their way through the alphabet. Expecting something formal? Be forewarned! Munching, nibbling, consuming, gobbling, imbibing, juicing, lapping, and wolfing were never so much fun. The offbeat, clever text simmers when read aloud, and the silly pictures--featuring gleeful ogres in all shapes and sizes--add more than a dash of flavor to an alphabet book that savors messy euphoria.
