Review

The story opens with scenes of over indulgence, flamboyant dressing, daydreaming, a fussy mother and sibling rivalry. Is this a setting in a Hollywood film? No, just the beginning of an old-fashioned story, but on this occasion one about a frog princess, not a frog prince. The story has witty text and the illustrations certainly complement it.

The Prince finds a wife, wins the kingdom, they are crowned King and Queen and dancing and feasting follows for nine days and nine nights. Emma Chichester Clark is a previous winner of the Mother Goose Award. (Ages 4-8) --Susan Naylor
