The Frog Prince Continued by Jon Scieszka


The Frog Prince becomes unhappy in his marriage. His princess nags him constantly, and he gets fed up. He decides to run away to find a witch to turn him back into a frog. Except, every witch he runs into, wants to either kill him or possibly eat him. He runs into the witch from Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretal, and the Fairy Godmother from Cinderella. After the Fairy Godmother turns him into a carriage, he is ready to go back home. He realizes that he is happy being a prince.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a perfect story starter for my second graders. It was fun to watch the kids try to figure out which story the witches came from. I didn't think they would know about Hansel and Gretal, but they did. I thought the illustrations added to the story, and the ending was really funny.
