The Odious Ogre by Norton Jester illustrated by Jules Feiffer*

The people in the land fear the ogre and tell stories about his horrible deeds.  His demise is when he encounters a kind, unbiased young lady.  Ever hear the phrase, "Kill them with kindness"?
Lots of rich vocabulary!!  Perfect for reading for context clues.
Large book so great for sharing.
Strategies/skills: character traits, context clues, inferring, predicting, word choice
*Highly recommend.
