Tales of the frog princess

Tales of the Frog Princess
by E.D. Baker.

Aren't most princesses all prim, proper and obedient? Not Esmeralda. She's loud, clumsy and doesn't like the prince her Mum wants her to marry. So she kisses a frog to find her true love, but this isn't a normal fairytale, so don't expect a normal fairytale ending! This isn't just one book, this is three books disguised as one book. This is the biggest book we have reviewed on the Brownie Book Club, so be prepared!

Hannah, the Brownie Book Club Editor thinks this...

If you love fairytales with a twist then you'll love this book. This tale is more like Shrek then Snow White and it'll have you giggling to yourself all day long. I felt really sorry for Princess Esmeralda! There is no way I'd ever kiss a frog! Yuk!

Hannah liked it! She rated it

I am quite good at reading but it took me a long time to read these books. The second one about Dragon's was the best.
