He has also earned a Caldecott Medal, and the adoration of children and adults for his beloved SHREK! and its associated films. 7.5'' x 5''. Original brown cloth boards. Original unclipped ($1.50) pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in black and white. Unpaginated. Jacket with light edgewear, a couple tiny closed tears; a hint of foxing.
