Book Description

Release Date: September 1, 1994 | Age Level: 6 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up | Series: Picture Puffins
After the Princess kissed the frog, he turned into a handsome prince and they lived happily ever after... or "did they?"

The Princess can't stand the Prince's froggy habits - the way he hops around on the furniture, or sneaks off to the lily pond. The Prince is unhappy, too, and decides that it would be best if he were changed back to a frog. But finding a witch who will do the job is harder than he expects. They all seem to have other spells in mind...

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The fabled amphibian meets with marital discord; according to PW, "stylized, sophisticated pictures add to the keen humor of this revisionist revelry." Ages 5-up.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-We all know that fairy tales end with the words "and they lived happily ever after." But what if they don't live happily ever after? What if you're a frog prince turned into a human prince? Is life with the princess who kissed your "slimy frog lips" all that it's cracked up to be? John Scieszka pursues the answers to these questions by continuing the prince's story (Viking, 19991). As read by Patrick Girard Lawlor, the characters are easily distinguished, from the strident tones of the princess, to the longing voice of the prince when searching for someone to turn him back into a frog, to the sweet voice of the too helpful fairy godmother. Lawlor makes the three witches from famous fairy tales especially engaging. Listening to Snow White's witch while gazing at an illustration of the poison-infused apple makes it quite evident why the frog prince turned and ran! Excellent audio quality, subtle background music, and the use of sound effects such as a hair dryer, running footsteps, squelching gumdrops underfoot, and croaking frogs make this an entertaining addition to audio collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fairy Tale with a Twist July 2, 2000
By Roz Levine
Format:Paperback
"The Princess kissed the frog. He turned into a prince.And they lived happily ever after..." Well not really. The Princess nags; the Frog Prince has bad amphibian habits that drive her crazy and neither are living very happily. So the Frog Prince decides to go out and find a witch to turn him back into a frog. Along the way, he meets familiar characters from other stories and finds out that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, with the princess. In fact, upon returning home, the Frog Prince kisses the Princess and... This is a silly, irreverent story, told in hip language, with a wonderful twist at the end that will delight and amuse children of all ages. Steve Johnson's illustrations are marvelous and add just the right touch to compliment the story. Great fun for the entire family, The Frog Prince Continues is a story not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fairy tale for all ages November 28, 1999
By Matthew Cuthbert
Format:Hardcover
With beautiful illustrations and a witty story, this book takes the phrase "happily ever after" and turns it into a fairy tale of its own. The frog prince, tired of his nagging wife, heads back into the forest to rediscover happiness. His encounters with witches from various legends bring him to the realization that he was better off at home.

This book makes a great gift for your significant other after you've had a fight.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most original books I've ever read! December 23, 1996
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
It's 9PM. The kids are all bathed, jammied up, tucked in, and ready for their bedtime story. I've had a hard day and my powers of creative book selection are nonexistent. Do I go with critter books or Seuss? Neither - at least not since I found "The Frog Prince Continued" by Steve Johnson and Jon Scieszka. In what has to be one of the most original and entertaining books of any kind, the authors have managed to combine wacky graphics with wonderfully off-center fairy tale fragments to create a story that begs to read over and over. Ever since she kissed his "slimy frog lips", the Prince and Princess have been whining and nagging about married life and the poor Prince can see only one way out of the turmoil - to find a witch that can turn him back into a frog. His hilarious journey through all of fairy-tale witchdom in search of his amphibious ends simply begs to be supplied with your own creative voices. When he meets his match in the definitely blonde and ditzy godmother from Cinderella, his situation goes rapidly downhill. Does he live to hop another day? Will the princess take him back? The perfect happy ending will satisfy both you and your kids and will keep you reaching for this book time after time. If I had one wish, it would be for Steve and Jon to fracture another fairy tale in a so elegant and entertaining fashion
