[Loren Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has lots of bits and pieces about the first two instalments in the Shrek franchise, accompanied by pictures taken directly from the movies. It’s a great guide and introduction into the world of this beloved ogre. I found it a little tedious but it might just be because it’s written for children. Altogether, not a bad book but, not one of my favourites either.

I think these DK Essential Guides are really good they include character profiles and information on the locations of the film, I decided to re- watch Shrek and Shrek 2 before reading this guide and I really enjoyed watching then reading about the film and characters, a fun read any Shrek fan would enjoy.
