The Frog Prince...Continued

The Frog Prince...Continued by Jon Scieszka

This story takes a twist on a classic fairy tale. The story opens showing readers that the Frog Prince and his wife the Princess didn't quite live as happily ever after as the story goes... and were actually stuck in a rut. One day, the Princess comes in and tells her husband that she thinks that they would both be better off if he was still a frog... and that's when he gets the idea to run away.

He runs deep into the forest and finds many different witches, asking them to change him back into a frog. The witches are from different fairy tales with different princesses, and they try to cast nasty spells on him so he doesn't disturb any Snow Whites or Sleeping Beauties. One witch even tries to "fit him in for lunch..." and that's when he runs into the Fairy Godmother. She has never transformed anyone into a frog, but he decides she is all he has got and gives it a go. Sadly, he gets transformed into a carriage. When the clock struck midnight, the carriage formally known as the Frog Prince turned back into his human self and he runs into his Princess's arms, who was actually extremely worried about him! The rut was over, they kissed and.... turned back into frogs! A cool book with such great illustrations and a neat twist on a classic fairy tale.
