THE FROG PRINCE CONTINUED

Happily ever after??? What might that mean if you're the Frog Prince and the princess just cannot abide lily pads in bed or hopping in the castle? While on a quest to find a witch to turn him back into a frog, the disconsolate prince creates his own satisfactory solution. In this extension of the familiar tale, Jon Scieszka's zany humor resonates in Patrick Lawlor's narration. Lawlor convincingly portrays a prissy princess and oozes personality as a series of witches who have agendas of their own for the prince. Music and sound effects add just the right amount of setting--clattering brick paths, chattering forest creatures, and bonging clocks. A.R.
