And in fact, I think I could read it aloud to my kids, but it is not labeled as such.

And it could only be considered middle grade if you think that Shrek is a kid's movie.

In fact, I would recommend this book.

It's absolutely perfect for anyone who loved Shrek over the years.

It's snarky.

to call in March of 2025, so more than a year ago.
