Candace VI have not read “The Funny Farm”,yet, but I am “taken” by the beautiful Illustrations.
Angela LWe bought a copy of “The Dog And The Hen” last year for Christmas, and my Son has learned an important lesson from the “Anti-Bullying” Theme. Ever since we have been reading that Storybook, whenever he sees one of his Classmates getting picked on, he steps in to defend them.
Anon.I think The Frog And The Prince is an Awesome Book!! I loved the story and the pictures. Even being 12 yrs old, I hoped my Mom would buy us one. Great job!!
Amanda EI really like The Frog And The Prince, especially the surprise ending where it turns out that the Frog is telling the story!! I think it puts a unique twist to the story. The Pictures are extremely well done. The Title is also intriguing, and creates “mystery” as to what the story is really all about. It is a wonderful story!!
Tiffany KThe Frog And Prince is such a fun read! My babies are 5 months old and they already love looking at the big letters and pictures in the book. When its time for bed I like to send them off to dreamland with the poetic verse of the Frog and the Prince
Brenna CYou wouldn’t believe this fantastic book that we read last night. We have read it several times already because my kids love it so much. It’s called “The Frog and the Prince”. It is such a cleaver book and beautifully illustrated too. Thank you so much. You are a very talented author.
Gloria SimonSince the age of 13 Months, when we first purchased The Frog And The Prince, it has been a hit with Emma. Even now, at 17 months, she still brings me the book to read and look at the great pictures. She has a wide variety of books, but always chooses that one for us to read. She loves the pictures and rhymes that make this a fantastic Children’s Storybook. We are expecting to need a new copy soon, as her “favorite book” is showing signs of wearing out. As a Mother, I’m anxious to see what Gordon will come up with next. We’ll be waiting for the announcement
Tracy-Lee CMy daughter Ava, who is 3, loves The Frog and The Prince so much I have lost count how many times I have read it. She thought the prince turning into a frog and eating flies was “just so funny. It make me laugh and laugh” she said. And she loves to show the book to her friends, they giggle over the pictures and she tries to mimic the story. I love the rhyme and the musical cadence. I bought several copies for family and friends to enjoy.
Teagan SI just wanted to share with you how great your book “The Frog and The Prince” is. We bought your book about a year ago, and my son has us read it to him nightly. He now reads us the words back! He is now 4 year old. It is a great children’s story and the artwork and illustrations are colorful and very kid friendly. Thanks for creating such a wonderful book!!
TamaraThe Frog and the Prince is a clever twist to an old story. Gordon’s poem had me chuckling from start to finish. The delightful illustrations by Lauren Fast bring the tale to life and make this a ‘must read’ for 3 – 8 year-olds
