"[A] boisterous, affectionate celebration of family bonds as thicker than swamp water."--Publishers Weekly
"Familiar fairy-tale settings and character types ground the story, while clever details-a camera-toting Papa Ogre and brothers with a quirky command of language-add freshness and humor. ..Delightfully comic illustrations heighten the humor and action. Themes of self-acceptance, diversity, and not judging by appearances are handled with a light touch and a satisfying twist. Readers may come for the nose-picking ogres, but they'll stay for a story that feels both comfortingly familiar and surprisingly new."--School Library Journal
