- Abstract
- en_US I include this book in the collection not because I think The Frog Prince should be viewed as a fable but because this volume is part of a series that is labeled Famous Fables. This twenty-page children's picture book extends onto its back endpaper with tips for parents, including strategies, discussion questions, and activities that grow out of the story. This is a good version. The princess' father keeps her to her word. After eating from her plate and sleeping on her bed three nights, the frog turns back into the prince he has always been. Does not the frog usually demand a kiss from the princess? Do traditional versions have the story turn, as here, on the loss of a favorite golden ball, which is retrieved by the frog?
