Princess Abby and the Frog follows Abby who is a spoiled and selfish princess. One day she was playing with her ball when it went into the well, and she met a frog who wanted to help her get her ball back. At first, Abby does not want to help the frog in return, but she eventually agrees. Throughout the rest of the book, she learns what it means to be a good princess and helps the townspeople in the process. The illustrations are cute, and the book has a great message of being kind to others.

Thank you NetGalley for sending this book for review.

Princess Abby and the Frog by Cassie Fletcher is a cute modern take on the classic tale of The Princess and the Frog. In the story, Abby, a spoiled princess, learns the importance of empathy and kindness when a frog saves her prized possession. The author’s storytelling is engaging, and the message about the value of selflessness resonates beautifully. What I enjoyed most about this book was the way it teaches children important life lessons through an entertaining narrative, making it a joy to read for both kids and adults alike.
