Shrek! is a picture book written and illustrated in 1990 by William Steig about a young ogre who finds the ogre of his dreams when he leaves home to see the world.[2] The name "Shrek" is derived from the German and Yiddish word שרעק "Schreck"/"Shreck", literally meaning "fear, terror." The book served as the basis for the popular Shrek film series over a decade after its publication.
