The Frog Prince, Continued
Written By: Jon Scieszka
Review Done By: Jenny Orr
"The Princess kissed the frog.
He turned into a prince,
And they lived happily ever after..."
Everyone knows the story of the frog prince, right? Princess kisses the frog, frog turns into prince, remember? The story continues in this fun picture book for kids. The frog prince is living with the beautiful princess, but they are far from living happily ever after. The princess and the prince are just too different. The prince wants to go down to the pond. The princess wants him to go out and slay a dragon. Complete opposites. So, one night, the prince decides to leave and find a witch that will turn him back into a frog.
The prince's journeys take him deep into the woods. After walking for a little while, he meets witch number one. He begs to be turned back into a frog. But the witch has other ideas. She said that since he is a prince, she must cast a nasty spell on him. After all, she doesn't want Sleeping Beauty to wake before her hundred years are up. But, before the witch can get a hold of him, the frog prince runs away, even deeper into the forest.
After having run for a little while longer, he spots a cottage. As you have probably guessed, witch number two is there. He begs the witch to turn him back into a frog. But the witch has other ideas. If he is a prince, he must eat a poison apple. After all, she doesn't want anyone rescuing Snow White. But before the witch can get a hold of him, he's off, running as fast as he can, ever deeper into the forest.
Running along the path, he comes to another cottage. And of course, outside, there is witch number three,outside gardening. Again, the prince begs to become a frog again. But the witch has other ideas. After all, she doesn't want to skip lunch (which consists of two little children). But before the witch can get a hold of him, the prince dashes off down the path, but this time, he was lost.
While walking down the forest path, he spies witch number four, who was changing pumpkins to carriages. The prince begs to become a frog, and for once, the witch gives it a try. With a wave of her wand the prince is transformed...into a carriage! The "carriage prince" runs... I mean rolls, even farther down the path. Just when he is beginning to despair of ever changing back into a human (he had long since given up on ever becoming a frog again), the clock strikes midnight, and to his great delight, he changed back into his human form.
Not wasting any time, the prince ran back to his castle, where the poor princess had been worrying herself sick. The prince looked at the princess, the only one who had believed him, the one who had actually kissed his slimy frog lips, the princess who loved him.
"The Prince kissed the Princess.
They both turned into frogs.
And they hopped off happily ever after."
THE END
This is the perfect book for early readers. Between the glossy illustrations and the captivating plot, there is no way a child (usually between the ages of 3-7) can't like this book. You and your child definitely don't want to miss out on this great reading experience.
Summary of The Frog Prince, Continued (Picture Puffins)
After the Princess kissed the frog, he turned into a handsome prince and they lived happily ever after... or "did they?"The Princess can't stand the Prince's froggy habits - the way he hops around on the furniture, or sneaks off to the lily pond. The Prince is unhappy, too, and decides that it would be best if he were changed back to a frog. But finding a witch who will do the job is harder than he expects. They all seem to have other spells in mind...
