Orso is the story of a little troll who makes a differencein himself and others—just by being himself. The story is playful andimaginative—with a Shrek-like, even-bad-creatures-can-be-good theme. Theillustrations are rich, artistic, and fun. And despite the frequent dark scenes(after all, Orso and his dad live in a cave), Balzer’s illustrations manage todown-play the scariness of the trolls and emphasize their fun-loving side.
