Do Princesses Really Kiss Frogs? (Do Princesses)

PreS-Gr 3 Most children will relate to this precocious child and her endless questions as she and her father take a hike. The slightly bedraggled dad answers every query and supports his -princess - by holding her hand as she crosses the creek and hoisting her up on his shoulders so she can see a bird's nest. As they progress, the cartoon illustrations show the curious youngster, her ever-present pup, and the changing landscape. A scavenger hunt at the end sends the children back into the book to find -hidden - pictures. This is a really nice read-aloud for parents and teachers.--Beverly Combs, Webb Middle School, Garland, TX
