Dated: 15th of July, 2004
OK, I thought the movies were cool on a number of levels. Great showcase for CGI movies, witty humour in many places, multi-layered for maximum fun for adults, while still fun for young'uns... but I wouldn't say I am a die-hard fan of Shrek.
That's why I wouldn't rate this book too highly. Sure, it introduces all the characters, and sure it's printed on full-colour-glossy stock, and is hardcover... but not really worth the lion's share of $50.
Overall, cute, but nothing worth hunting majorly. It'll be on the Warehouse shelves cheaper than that in the not-too-distant future. Sorry folks, but this one is just a bit overpriced for what it is... a kids amusement book. Maybe some stickers in the next one or something... interactive is the way to go.

A child. A dream. 191 countries in 167 days!
When John Bougen set out on the All Nations Quest he had a dream of his own: with the help of Save the Children he would talk to children, and ask them about their special hopes and dreams.
This moving and inspirational book is a response from the children of the world when asked the question, "If one of your dreams could come true, what would it be?"
