Pretty Ugly
Pretty Ugly | David Sedaris
3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
David Sedaris and Ian Falconer make a spectacular splash with this tale of a monster turned ugly--stuck with a human face! In this beautifully gross picture book, Anna Van Ogre's lovely monster face turns into that of a sickeningly adorable, rosy-cheeked little girl--and it's not switching back! Can she find a way to stop looking like an ugly human and regain her gorgeous monstrosity of a face? The dynamic duo of nationally acclaimed comedian David Sedaris and renowned children's book author Ian Falconer comes together to ponder the perpetually relevant question: is true beauty really on the inside?

Mehso-so

I actually got to see David Sedaris speak last week (2nd row!!) and he was amazing. I had no idea he had a children‘s book out… so I grabbed it from the library, wondering what kind of children‘s story would he write? Well, let‘s say it‘s for a very specific audience as it‘s a fine line between scary and funny. I found it funny, but would hesitate to broadly recommend to children. And Ian Falconer was an amazing artist.

This was a super quick and fun read. Pretty is very much in the eyes of the beholder. Perfect for all ages. My only criticism is the ending was oddly abrupt.
