This is a story about a frog that admires a princess and helps her one day retrieve a her golden ball from the bottom of the pond. She promises to have the frog over for a meal and to sleep over in her castle but when the time comes to uphold her side of the deal she acts spoiled and ungrateful and slams the door in the frogs face. Her father the kind orders her to keep her promises and in turn she does but further mistreats and puts down the frog, breaking his heart. The frog leaves the kingdom in search of his true princess. On his journey he continues to selflessly help others in need who in turn in help him. In the end he finds his true love, a frog princess, who loves him back and thinks he is amazing and they live happily ever after.
Personal reaction to the book:
I liked this book, and the lesson behind it. It is important to be who you are not change because of what others may think. The illustrations are bright and interesting also. Overall a good book.
Extensions:
1. I would use this book to teach children about being yourself and not changing because of what other think.
2. I would use this book to show my students how words and being mean can hurt someone's feelings. So I would encourage them to treat others how they want to be treated.
