Reviews

Kindergarten-Grade 4–A variety of animals, including a heron, monkey, and snow cat, ponder their gifts to welcome the young frog prince. On each spread, a short, lyrical piece about the gift and how it will be presented faces a photo-realistic image of each costumed creature. The body paints, feathers, beads, headdresses, and other adornments suggest native cultures from around the globe. Painterly brush strokes in subdued earth tones blur backgrounds, bringing each creature into sharp focus for its journey to the party. The book will appeal to children who are familiar with the story of the frog prince; others may not know what to make of it. A contemplative, serious, and uplifting book that ends somewhat unexpectedly.–Linda M. Kenton, San Rafael Public Library, CA
