The Frog Prince is a very old tale, first written down by the Brothers Grimm. It tells the story of a princess who promises to be a frog's friend after he rescues her ball from the pond. Will she be able to keep her promise - and who is the frog really? This humorous story written by Pippa Goodhart and charmingly illustrated by Yannick Robert will capture your child's imagination! It has been sensitively rewritten to enable your child to read it with confidence whilst capturing the magic of the original tale. There are useful tips for parents and an engaging story map inside the book to help you and your child retell the story together. The Oxford Reading Tree Traditional Tales series includes 40 of the best known stories from all over the world, which have been passed down for generations.
