J.R.Barker (Goodreads Author)
The Prince had problems; he was stranded in a moat and was trying to come to terms with being small, green and surprisingly springy.
Now not only must he battle to control his new body, which is frequently prone to malfunction, but he must also avoid being eaten by things that are bigger than him as he tries to find his way back to the castle to find out who wants him out o...more

No matter how much we grow up, we can never quite escape the thrall of a good kid's story. JR Baker's The Adventures of the Frog Prince was no different. Humourously written with strong characters and a good storyline, the book managed to captivate me quite easily..........even though I'm 17 :P
I can really find no complaint with it. Magic, romance and humour - it had all of the components for a great story. And all three components were blended perfectly. The characters were awesome. Be it the P...more

This was such a cute story!
The story is about a prince who was turned into a frog for being a rude person. Then he sets off to find the witch who turned him into a frog with the help of the princess that he was rude to.
The author is a very good writer and everything flowed very well together. The banter was witty and funny between the characters. Now if only there were pictures to go with the story :)

The Adventures of the Frog Prince is a story about an arrogant, irresponsible and selfish young prince who wakes one day to find himself outside his own castle, inside his own moat, and no longer inside his own body. As the title suggests, the Prince has become a frog. Unable to comprehend why this should have happened to him, though he does have a few ideas, he sets out to find those responsible for this unwelcome transformation. Realising there are quite a few royal subjects he has offended, h...more
I received this book from Shut Up & Read.
This is a pretty cool story. It is the story of the prince who has been turned into a frog and can only be switched back by the kiss of a princess. However, this is slightly more than the average little children's book. I would say this would be more for 2nd-4th grade readers. I really enjoyed reading with my kids. My tween understood the language but I found I would have to explain words or phrases to my 7 year old (got the blank look on his face =)....more

This story is great for young teens. I believe it was touted as a book for children, but it is definitely for a slightly older age group as the dialogue is a bit hard to follow for very young readers. I enjoyed reading this tale from the point of view of the frog but found myself a little confused by the whole 'witch' element. The princess may be a witch. And then, she may not be. But the maid is sure she is, as well as the Queen. Even in the end, it seems nobody really knows and there is a bit...more
A cute take on the classic fairy tale, The Frog Prince, The Adventures of the Frog Prince is a short story written for all ages. It begins with princesses from all the neighboring kingdoms visiting Prince Leo in an effort to win his heart. But Leo makes his contempt for them well known, and is turned into a frog. The rest of the story follows Leo as he tries to solve the mystery of who changed him and why. The lost of enemies is long, and even with the help of a princess and a spider in a si...more
Hilarious fairy-tail where a prince is turned in to a frog by some unknown person after he was meant to chose a bride. This story is well written and full of humour as the frog sets off to find out who turned him into a frog, and why. The cover gives the impression that the book is for young children, but it's probably better suited to older readers because of the large words and long sentences. Plus the lisp in the dialogue of one of the characters would be a little hard for five to seven year-...more

An unexpectedly delightful story that begins in fairy-tale fashion, setting the stage for the Prince of the Kingdom’s long-awaited choice of a wife from among the various Princesses, but soon skewing into utter hilarity (the reader will be exclaiming, “no, not really?!) followed by true empathy for the protagonist. I laughed fairly uproariously all through this tale, simply because it is so delightful-and what an imagination has this author, to so well view events from within the perspective of...more
This story is a twist on the tale of The Frog Prince. The disrespectful prince is turned into a frog, left in the castle’s moat and goes on a journey to find who-dunnit.
The description states it’s for all ages, but I would recommend it for the 8-12 age range. My daughter is 5 and wasn’t interested. While the content was appropriate for all ages, I feel the language would be over most younger one’s comprehension.
I enjoyed this short but fun read and would recommend it to all who enjoy fairytales....more

This was the story about the Prince who turned into a frog. Yet he has no memory of how he became a frog or how to change back. SO he goes on a sleuthing adventure to solve the mysteries. In which he does. He realizes that he was rude to princesses or rather a particular princess, makes up with her, chooses her as his bride, and they live happily ever after.

Written from the point of view of a frog, the author has put a new twist on an old fairy tale.
After suddenly being turned into a frog, the Prince has to learn how to use his new body. I laughed out loud when he first tried to use his tongue. Even though he was in a frogs body, he was not a frog and nothing came naturally. The author did a wonderful job of describing this and had me smiling and laughing. Things just get better as he navigates the castle, trying to find out who did this to him.

I thought this was a cute read, my eight year old daughter read it with me and she enjoyed it as well. We thought the description of suitable for children of all ages was a little off I do not think my 4 year old would have understood some of the wording. Also it seemed a little confusing I think a read through and edit is needed to help sort through some of the details.Other than that really cute story.
This was a whimsical and humorous new twist to a old fairy tale. The author is able to cleverly describe what it would be like to change into a frog and the challenges you would face. The moral of the story is be careful what you say to others because you never know what could happen. I would definitely recommend this book!
While Barker is not quite as good as Jane Yolen, this is a rather funny and good retelling of the Frog Prince. Actually, I like it better than the original. Read this to your daughters.
This was such a cute and fun story! Neat twist to the old frog prince story line and i have to say this may be my next book to read to my girls at bedtime. Great job!

My mom got this for me to read to my new lil' niece. Here is the deal I'm 12-years-old and my lil' niece is just a baby. So, needless to say it was way over baby Mya's head and just a little young for me.
But hear me out it would be good for boys and girls around Kindergarten to grade 4. It is both a funny read and a tense read. You have to understand it a Prince stuck as a nasty frog and can only be save by..... Can't let any spoilers out of the bag.
