TOMI UNGERER
Zeralda’s Ogre »A barbaric delight for both young and old children!« Die Weltwoche, Zurich
For weeks now, all of the children in town have been hiding in trunks, barrels, and basements to avoid becoming the hungry ogre’s breakfast – all of the children, that is, except Zeralda, who lives in a clearing in the woods and does not know much about ogres. She does, however, know everything about cooking, and when the two finally come face to face the scrumptious feasts she prepares transform the ogre’s eating habits.
