Do you like the movie Shrek? Guess who wrote the book that the movie was based on? Mr. William Steig.

He wrote some wonderful books for children of all ages. Preschoolers and kindergarteners might enjoy some of the timeless classics like Doctor De Soto and Brave Irene.

And after reading the book Sylvester and Magic Pebble some first graders may want a magic pebble of their very own.

Older children may enjoy Abel's Island. So come to the New York Public Library and enjoy some of William Steig's books for yourself. Have a fun time reading.
