About This Book
This classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, "The Frog Prince," tells the story of a vain princess who makes a promise to a talking frog to retrieve her lost golden ball. When the frog appears at her castle to claim his reward, her father, the King, insists she honor her word, despite her disgust. The story culminates in the princess's frustrated act of throwing the frog against a wall, which, in this traditional version, breaks the spell and reveals him as a handsome prince. It's a timeless tale that explores themes of honesty, the importance of keeping promises, and looking beyond outward appearances, making it an excellent conversation starter for young readers about responsibility and empathy.
Angry at being forced to keep her promise to a frog, the princess finally resorts to violent action, with unexpected results.
