Ogden the Ogre was worried one night.

"My jim-jams have grown far too short and too tight!

How has my tum got so terribly wide?

I only eat twelve meals a day," Ogden sighed.

The people said, "Jim-jams too tight and too short?

Overweight ogres should take up a sport!"

So Ogden does take up a sport - and he does it with gusto! But finding the perfect sport for a big, bumbling ogre isn't quite as simple as it may seem.

Delve into the humorous world of The Yoga Ogre by Peter Bently, as readers discover Ogden's charming journey to find a sport that suits him.
