The Original Shrek.......2007-06-27

As always, William Steig is a master. This precursor to the Shrek movies does not disappoint. It's short, funny and extremely well done. All ages can enjoy Steig's humor. We love it.

Will the real Shrek step forward?.......2007-06-21

I purchased this book to read to my two grandchildren ages 3 and 5 because of their enjoyment of the Shrek movies. They had seen all of the movies and parents, including myself had adorned them with many of the commerical items, dolls, DVDs, pillows, cups, etc.

My mistake was in not pre-reading the book thinking it would be oretty straight forward and relate much to the series of movies plot and background. Well, I was completely wrong and found myself trying to skip sections, interject different dialog, and basically explaining why Shrek did not look, act or behave as he had in the previous two movies. My 3 year old was affected by his "scary-ugly" face and my 5 year old argued it wasn't him at all and I had gotten the wrong book.

It was very difficult to explain that for some reason the industry decided to 'beautify' Shrek's image and characteristics in order to make him more acceptable to the public. I can maybe understand why Shrek's facial markings changed from the books portrayal but the book,beginning, middle, and ending,bore little to no resemblance to the screen Shrek at all. Why even claim it as an adaption when it only used the name of the character and that he was ugly? The book Shrek was sad, rejected by everyone, even his parents...more like the character in Humpback of Notre Dame. This book is most unaccpetable to be read to young children who do not understand capitalism and how making a buck meanig forsaking reality.

Will the Real Shrek Please Stand Up.......2007-04-23

Since reading Amos and Boris and other William Steig stories I became a big fan of his. When I was still working (I am retired) as an elementary school librarian I read this book to many of my classes. Those who had seen the first Shrek movie said this isn't the story of Shrek! I tried to explain to those children that movies often don't portray the storybook in it's original form. But as another reviewer stated it's worth the purchase! I have since seen all of the Shrek movies and I am looking forward to the next one to be released in May, 2007.
If you haven't read the other magical stories by William Steig read them now! Many of them have magical moments, great vocabulary, and other facets you don't want to miss. If you're looking for a strong female character read: BRAVE IRENE. If your looking for a friendship book with loving characters read: AMOS AND BORIS. If your looking for an inventive, clever character ( and a book to give to your dentist) read: DR. DESOTO. If you want a book that has "magic" read: THE AMAZING BONE. Of course, William Steig had a Caldicott Winner with (read:) SYLVESTOR AND THE MAGIC PEBBLE. I have all of his books and he has one junvenile novella read: THE REAL THEIF. Two junvenile fiction novels, read: ABEL'S ISLAND and DOMINIC.

Charming, funny, a little bit "witchy.".......2006-06-26

I like that Shrek likes himself for who he is. I like the theme, that there's someone for everybody. I don't especially care for the "evil magic" in it, but it is a very small part of the story.

Shrek, the ugliest guy around.......2005-08-12

When they came along, the moviemakers took a great deal of artistic license. Little of the book remains intact in the movie. The book starts with Shrek's parents hissing things over, and they decide to send Shrek "out in the world [to do] his share of damage". Shortly after he leaves home, Shrek meets with a witch who tells him his fortune in exchange for a few of Shrek's lice. Shrek is told that he will wed a princess who is even uglier than he, and is overjoyed at the news. On his way to the princess, Shrek meets a peasant, confronts thunder and lightning, defeats a dragon, has a nightmare of being loved by children, and meets a donkey who takes him to the castle. After defeating a knight he goes and meets his princess. The two get married and live horribly ever after.

The story is well told, and I love how Shrek breaks out in rhyme at the sight of his princess. The words flow well, and the book is fun to read out loud.

The illustrations of Shrek are, by necessity, ugly. Even more so than the movie. That said, they are also cute, though not in the huggable/loveable sense. The illustrations are colorful, fun, and expressive. A great book, even if (or especially since?) it isn't the movie.

The DK Sticker books are filled with reusable stickers. The eight-page booklet is filled with green images and captions. Children can choose the stickers that fit in the spaces available. These stickers could also be used for art projects or you could make your own wrapping paper for a Shrek fan. Some of the best stickers include the castle, donkey and dragon, Fiona dreaming, the donkey grinning and the Fairy Godmother.

Sample Captions:

Dragon: Finally a fierce dragon is all that stands in the way of rescuing Princess Fiona-no problem at all if you're a smooth-talking donkey.

The Three Bears: Since leaving their cozy home, the Three Bears are constantly wondering who's sitting in their chairs, sleeping in their beds and eating their porridge!

Overall, a humorous collection of stickers and captions. All the stickers are full-color images of scenes from Shrek and Shrek 2.

The Essential Guide to Shrek.......2004-08-01

Once upon a time... there was a large green ogre who became a great hero... a small donkey who became his noble steed...and a beautiful princess who kept a mysterious secret.

If you want to see a cross-section view of Shrek's crooked wooden shack built into a rotten old tree stump or you are interested in the romance between a smooth-talking donkey and his fire-breathing dragon girlfriend, then you might enjoy the additional information about the Shrek Movies.

The colors used in this book are pretty amazing. You almost think you could feel the fur on the donkey or feel the texture in Fiona's embroidered royal dress. Even the green fabric looks velvety. I was quite impressed with this aspect alone. There is also a good helping of humor throughout, like when talking about the gingerbread man who is actually one tough cookie.

He's wholesome and true - just what you'd expect from a cookie made from organic flour. ~pg. 19

Or when speaking of the castle:

This stylishly dilapidated, sinister castle is conveniently located on a crumbling pinnacle of rock in a sea of molten lava, just three day's quest from the nearest shopping mall.

Each section also conveys a certain mood. The page about The Poison Apple is somber, dark and has white text, while the pages covered with "the front page" of the Daily Duloc stands out and is also filled with fairy-tale humor and advertisements for magic beans.

Shrek 2 Opposites.......2007-01-11

Received late due to poor delivery service. I ordered this Christmas gift on 2 Dec 06. It was to be delivered by DHL. Using the item tracking number, I found it was supposedly delivered on 12 Dec 06. I received it on 27 Dec 06, after having to buy a replacement gift. Where it was all that time, who knows? I must say that Amazon was very good about refunding my order total. I would prefer UPS from now on!

Very cute for babies and Shrek fans!.......2006-08-30

This is a very short and simple book, but one that all babies will love! The face on the cover is soft and malleable, perfect for tactile fun! The pictures inside represent opposites and are just like the animation from the movie, very appealing to young eyes. I think the uniqueness of this book makes it a great little collectors item too.

Lifesaving book!!!.......2006-12-21

I completely disagree with the other review, and if you do your research you will certainly come to the conclusion that ManhattanGMAT's books are a fantastic resource for the GMAT. While they are not necessarily a substitute for the class, they cover the material in great detail and include access to various practice problems online and 6 computer adaptive exams. You will most definitely need them for practice if you want to do well. The books are structured around content, not tricks, and are thus meant to teach the material from the ground up. I thought they were extremely useful. Raised my score from 630 to 740.

DO NOT BUY.......2006-09-21

I have an engineering background and I strongly suggest others with a similar one not to buy this book. I could complete this book and all of its 'exercises' in an hour. All it does is repeats very basic math knowledge which I bet you will not forget even after 50 years from now. All in all bad book for GMAT Fractions, Decimals, & Percents preparation. Now I have look for ways to sell this book which I bought two days ago... any buyers? not a scratch on the paper and is all in mint condition.

Very good for the target audience.......2007-09-18

"Very good for the target audience" - I think this sums it all. If you are someone who has not done active maths for some time now, and therefore does not remember the concepts involved very well, this is the book for you. This I will say holds true for most of the books of the Manhattan Quant series.
The Manhattan Quant series books cover the concepts only to the degree that gets asked in the GMAT, and do not overwhelm you.
Plus, as each of the Manhattan books then turns to the Official Guide for practice, each of the books has a section where the appropriate questions for that topic are numbered from the OG. They also detail the toughest of the lot from OG. Here I think the book is useful for anyone, irrespective of the personal comfort level with maths.
Therefore if you are true to yourself and practice the questions marked from OG as you go along, this would prove to an excellent resource for cracking the quant part of the GMAT.
