From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1-Twenty-six hungry ogres (from Abednego to Zuleika) feast their way through the alphabet, munching on everything from anchovy butter to zucchini. As in Heller's Goblins in Green (Greenwillow, 1995), each letter entry is made up of a creature's name, a verb describing what it is doing, and an adjective, followed by a noun beginning with the next letter,. e.g., "Pernilla is peppering her parsnip quiche." The alliteration is sure to please children, even if they don't share the ogres' taste in snacks-"gobs of hummus," "ladles of molasses," "urns of vichyssoise." Smith's brightly colored gouache, watercolor, and pencil illustrations show the fun-loving ogres enjoying their food in many inventive ways. Youngsters may take added delight in searching for the many art masterpieces hidden throughout the pages. An entertaining concept book that's chock-full of clever wordplay.
