I like children's books and I am not even going to invent an excuse for reading this one. I read it because I wanted to. There.
I read it because I wanted to read a story about a princess who kisses a frog. Things went slighlty wrong and the frog prince didn't turn into a human prince, instead the princess turn into a frog.
And then they have a lot of adventures and epiphanies.

But after a kiss from the prince she turns into a frog. So they go off on an adventure to turn human again!They make Eadric look like a pig in some parts yet in other parts he's sweet as can be.

REVIEW
I enjoy reading twists on classic fairy tales. They tend to be very creative and often have some nice surprises. The Frog Princess is one of those books that offers a little spin to a well-known tale.
I liked the main idea of the plot where the princess turns into a frog when the frog prince kisses her. Very unique idea! Although I suspected that everything would work out in the end (it’s a fairy tale after all), I did not know HOW it would happen.

I've been having so much fun lately with the modernized Fairy Tales that I finally went back in search of the original Frog. I think I somehow read the second book of this trio once, wanted to go back, but never did. But now I have.

This was a good book. It was a fantasy, adventurous fairy tale. However, this is not you average fairy tale. You would think that it was about a princess who kissed and frog and then he turned into prince charming. But no, that is not the case here, The Frog Princess is more adventurous and exciting. E.D Baker wrote this book like no other book I have ever read. It blew me away! The princess in this book is clumsy and has not etiquette or grace. She is the opposite of a princess who hates high

Saya selalu suka buku anak-anak, tapi meskipun buku ini terbitan Atria, rasanya kurang cocok disebut sebagai buku anak-anak. Mungkin di negara asalnya sana buku ini merupakan buku anak tetapi karena perbedaan budaya, saya lebih suka menyebut buku ini buku remaja. Lumayan banyaknya kata "cium" yang ditujukan kepada lawan jenis dan kepada bagian bibir, rasanya kurang cocok untuk anak-anak. Atau saya yang terlalu konservatif? Hm...

This is another book that has been on my TBR pile for a very long time. I finished Princess Diaries part 3 whilst in my lunch break at work and had left book 4 at home, so I grabbed this from my tray and sat down with it.
I was halfway after 40 minutes so decided to bring it home with me to finish.

The kids love to have me, or thier father, read them a book before bed. The other night, my oldest daughter and I started reading The Frog Princess, and last night, after she fell asleep, I finished the book for myself.
I have to say this was a really good book. It was age approriate for both my 9 year old and my 6 year old to listen to, or read. It did not push the children in the story to grow up too soon, and it was well-written.

Initially, I thought this book was going to be a modern retelling of the original classic, The Princess and the Frog. When I found out the girl turns into a frog, I knew it was going to be an interesting story. I truly enjoyed all of the animal friends. They reminded me of my friends in real life. A part I thought was funny was when Eadric turns back into a human and he’s not that handsome-looking. In the Disney story, the princess gets a handsome prince ready to sweep her off her feet while in

Princess Emeralda, (Emma for short) is not your average princess. She's clumsy and nothing like what her mother instructs her to be. She escapes by visiting the swamp by their castle.

I picked up this book because I like the modern spin on princess stories that’s been developing since, at very rough approximation, the 80s, when Disney started slanting most of its princess movies to make the princess an active character. The princess who isn’t dainty and feminine but does get to be a hero is now an archetype, but she’s one I can get behind. So when I read the summary of this book, I was excited to run across another variant on a fun theme.

A princess named Emerelda[she goes by Emma:] loves going to the swamp when she can. Most of the time she has to do princess stuff or practice magic with her aunt, the Green Witch. One day she went to the swamp and was asked by a frog[who said he was a prince named Eadric:]for a kiss. She finally agrees to kiss him and she ends up turning into a frog. They both go on an adventure to find the witch who turned Eadric into a frog, so she can reverse the spell. When they think they've found the wit

Princess Emma kissed the frog prince and…she turned into a frog too! I bet you never heard that version of the story before, but if you read the Frog Princess By E.D. Baker, you can join the adventurous Princess Emma and sarcastic Prince Eadric on their journey to turn back into humans. Magic is needed, so they begin their search for the witch that turned Eadric into a frog in the first place. Unfortunately, problems get worse. Instead of the witch they were looking for, they run into anothe

I'm feeling kind of ambivalent about this, but I'm going to read the next book to see if it gets better. Esmerelda is a clumsy princess who's not very good at princess things. One day as she wanders the swamp (unprincess-like behavior, to be sure), she encounters a talking frog. He claims to be Prince Eadric, turned into a frog by a witch. All it will take to cure him of his malady is a kiss from a princess...

I'm not the biggest fan of this book. The story concept had promise and its progression kept my interest. (Though I admit that I had hoped they would reach her aunt and it would all be solved, so I was a bit disappointed that I still had an entire CD left!) I did not like the main characters. And the voices for them--especially the prince--made them rather obnoxious. Still, I was listening to another book narrated by Katherine Kellgren at the same time, and I preferred her without the English ac

An interesting twist on the fairy tale. Just like the original tale, the princess meets a talking frog that claims to be a prince and needs to be kissed by a princess to break the spell. However, when Princess Emma kisses Eadric the frog, she turns into a frog. The two of them flee into the swamp where Emma must learn to act like a frog to survive. Will they ever be turned back into their human selves?

Cute - but not what I expected at ALL (plot-wise). I had no idea that the entire novel would be from a frog's point of view - but it was okay :) After reading this book, I now have an understanding of what a chapter "childrens" books is, compared to a chapter "young adults" book. Big differences. You can tell, if you don't over think it. This was one of the topics I studied in my Young Adult Literature class - how certain books were for what age and what the differences were.

The Frog Princess was an absolute fabulous adventure! I'm sure you'll enjoy this book!
My favorite character was Emma because I liked how she was positive even when she was a frog.
My favorite part was when they were in the witch's cottage because the witch was a making a potion and she needed tongues and toes of talking frogs.

This was a pretty cute fairy tale. The heroine is very relate-able and will appeal to kids. While "about a princess" if you can get a boy past the title, there's lots of bug eating and fun stuff like that.
A twist on the classic tale, when Emma kisses the frog prince, she gets turned into a frog instead! So they have to go on a journey to try to get the witch who cast the spell to reverse it, and on the way they will meet lots of new people and new friends!

Frog Princess has been one of my top three books I would reccommend to anyone. I am not a high level reader, so it might be an easy read, but if you haven't already, check this book out. This book is full of Adventure, mischief, friendship, romance, magical spells, and everything a fictional book should have!

I haven't seen the movie, but it must be very good considering how everyone seems to think it was better than the book. I thought the book was done well, anyway. I have no real complaints. This book is in the same sub-genre of fantasy as Ella Enchanted, but I thought this one was more fun, personally, with less drama.
