review 1: The first time we read this it scared Melanie a little and I was unhappy that I let her pick it as a bedtime story before I read it. But, the next morning she was talking about it and asking about it. All week she has wanted to read it every day. Today she took it to school for her first show-and-tell. I still don't really like it. Especially the ending, which has no real relevance to the story and doesn't come across as a joke to kids who don't know the princess and frog story. I do like talking about the book with Melanie though - it has been interesting listening to her try to decide if the frog is "good" or "bad".
review 2: This fairytale is seriously fractured. Mrs. Collywobbles has inadvisably chosen to make her home at the edge of a big, dark, scary for... moreest, and her only protection is her pet frog. He is more than capable, however, and gobbles up any horrors that pop out of the woods, while his mistress hides inside her house. When all of the terrors have been safely digested, Mrs. C. gives her frog a kiss at his request and presto changeo...she's a frog, too. She doesn't look very pleased about that. Guess what happens next?Moral: Don't mess with magically transformed old-lady frogs.Bizarre and goofy with horrible, horrible monsters (of doom). I think the frog should have expanded in size as he consumed monster after monster. less
