Review Quotes

"You have to love a children's book that begins with "Once upon a time..." In this fairy tale twist Theo the frog dreams of becoming a prince. He's heard he can do this by receiving a kiss from a princess. When he cannot find a princess around his village he decides to get creative and advertise for one. Will his princess show up at his meeting place? I loved the illustrations in this book. The cute spin on a classic was a fun read. I would recommend this for kids 4 and up, younger if they have a longer attention span." - Cooke County Library
