About this item
An ogre turns out to be the best neighbor ever in this punny easy reader comic.A family gets a surprise when a fun-loving ogre moves in next door and helps a sister bond with her screen-obsessed brother.

But a tell-tale red string leads him to the challenges. This comic is perfect for reintroducing kids to the fun of in-person play. Comics-lovers can now share the fun with their kids, students, siblings, and younger friends who are learning to read! I Like to Read® Comics are perfect for kids who are challenged by or unengaged in reading, kids who love art, and the growing number of young comics fans.
About the Author
Jeffrey Ebbeler's parents always wanted to live on a farm. One day, they moved their family from the city suburbs to the country. Jeff's dad and uncles built their house and a barn. Just like the Gladstones in George the Hero Hound, they raised all kinds of animals and owned a rusty old tractor that hardly ever worked. Every once in a while, their neighbor's cows would break through the fence and feast on their cornfield. When Jeff's sister got a pony, everyone in the family wanted to give him a name, so they ended up calling him Rusty Dusty Rover Red George. (In this story, Jeff made George a dog, so George could help a bunch of city folk learn to be farmers, just like Jeff's family.) Jeff has illustrated (and occasionally writes) a number of picture books, including Arlo Rolled by Susan Pearson. He lives in Cincinnati with his wife and twin daughters.
