I admit that when I first saw this book, I thought it was too simplistic but after reading it with kids I was able to catch their enthusiasm. Now I read it with great pleasure. The Character in the Book certainly has character and it is a joy imagining him going through life in a book and then traveling through the book to meet his aunt. He is always jaunty and cheery, even when faced with a new adventure. You have to love him and the pretense of the book.

Everyone should read this book! It's really original and all kids will it and so will the parents reading it to them.

the pictures are cute but the overall feeling in the book just didn't keep my students attention and they seemed to just be disappointed in each ending that the frog got a lollipop

This is really a delightful book. The princess looks like a regular little girl, and she runs into a couple of very straightforward problems (ball in the pond, lost penny) and one very unusual problem (a bird on her daddy's head) with a very silly solution (a froggy on her daddy's head). The three short stories are easy to follow and my daughter has been a fan since she was 2 years old (now she is nearly 4).

This book contains 3 short stories, each starring Princess and her best friend and savior, Froggie. Key phrases are repeated in each story, so my preschooler delights in joining in the story telling. We must have checked this book out from the library at least 10 times in the last year; it's her standby favorite! I like it, too, because it's not very long -- perfect for bedtime.
