Shrek misses the good old days, but when he makes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin to make things go back to the way they were, he finds that things aren't quite how he expected.
For Shrek, life is good. He’s king of the fairytale kingdom of Far Far Away, surrounded by friends, and a celebrity to his people. But boredom takes hold . . . that is, until he meets the smooth-talking Rumpelstiltskin and a wish turns his world inside-out. In Shrek Forever After, the latest installment in the blockbuster series from DreamWorks Animation, Shrek’s desire to feel like a “real ogre” leads him to relive his famous adventures, but in a world where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king, and Princess Fiona has never even heard his name! Readers can join Donkey, Fiona, Farqhuad, and their favorite ogre for the behind-the-scenes story of his latest adventure, the first three Shrek films, and how the land of Far Far Away came to be.

Read the book that inspired the famous film franchise in this wonderfully funny picture book. Before Shrek made it big on the silver screen, there was William Steig's SHREK!, a book about an ordinary ogre who leaves his swampy childhood home to go out and see the world. Ordinary, that is, if a foul and hideous being who ends up marrying the most stunningly ugly princess on the planet is what you consider ordinary.
Harvey doesn't know what to get his father for Father's Day. It's especially hard when his older sisters and brother seem so sure that their presents are his favorites. Laurie Ann gives him a tie--every year! And Martin always gives him a box of nails. Nadine says Dad loves golf balls. How do they know he likes these presents so much? Because every year Dad gives them each a hug and says, "Thank you." And they say, "You're welcome. "The night before Father's Day, Harvey remembers all of the nice things his dad helped him with that week. He picks up a crayon and starts to draw. And when Harvey gives his dad his present, it's Harvey who has said, "Thank you." And it's his Dad who responds, "You're welcome."
In the first book to systematically deal with Daoism (Taoism) from a rhetorical perspective, author Steven C. Combs advances the idea that the works of Daoist (Taoist) sages Laozi (Lao Tzu), Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu), and Sunzi (Sun Tzu) can be fused into a coherent rhetorical genre, which can then form a methodology for rhetorical criticism. This notion of Daoist rhetoric enables critics to examine discourse from new vantage points with novel processes and concepts that honor the creativity and complexity of human communication. Combs also critically examines four contemporary films—The Tao of Steve, A Bug's Life, Antz, and Shrek—to amplify rhetorical Daoism, to indicate clear differences between Western and Daoist values, and to offer fresh perspectives on individuals and social action. The book argues that Daoism provides a lens for viewing limitations of current Western rhetorical theorizing, positioning Daoist rhetoric as a potent critical perspective in the contemporary, postmodern world.
