When this princess kisses a frog, she lives happily ever after in a slightly different way.
Quick Summary
If your child is just starting to read chapter books, this quick, 400-word retelling of the classic princess-and-frog tale is a great choice. It keeps the familiar story princess meets frog, kiss happens but then flips the ending in a way that makes kids giggle and think, which is why it sticks in memory. The language is simple, the pictures are bright, and the humor is gentle, so even reluctant readers will feel confident turning the pages. Parents will like that there's a subtle lesson about not judging by appearances and that the whole adventure is short enough to finish in one bedtime sitting. If your kid loves other early-reader fairy-tale twists like "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs," they'll probably ask to read this one again and again.
