An American Bookseller pick of the lists.
"Given Gwynne's wacky, kid-pleasing sense of humor, it comes as no surprise that his upside-down retelling of the Frog Prince is extremely funny. Sumptuously detailed watercolors are imbued with a stateliness appropiate to the grandeur of Twynne's tongue-in-cheek gravity."

"The denouement is unexpected, funny, and logical if quirky...The illustrations have a vernal freshness of color, line, and actions that intensifies the story's vitality."
My kids loved this book. It made them laugh out loud.

Pondlarker is a frog whose favorite story is the one about the frog who once was a prince. He even dresses like a prince. He is the laughingstock of the rest of the frogs. One day, he sets out to find a princess . . . what a surprise ending!
