Do Princesses Really Kiss Frogs?

I truely enjoyed this one, both in it's reading and visually. The little girl in the story is so very, very typical of children her age, both girls and boys, that you are bound to see one of your children, or as in my case, children and grandchildren, in her. The text is rhyming in nature and is quite catching. This is one of those books you must read and see several times. Each time I read it to a child or a class I (and they children) see something new in the illustrations which are quite detailed for such a simple work. As an added bonus, dog lovers will love this one too as the little pup in the story is just about as cute as the little girl. Recommend this one very highly.

Mike Gordon's large and appealing drawings adeptly illustrate an engaging and recommended picturebook story of a princess and her father who wander through the woods observing wonders. Scary woods encounters such as bees and dragons are revealed as a father tells his daughter what might be encountered in a woods walk - or not.

I love the book Do Princesses Really Kiss Frogs? by Carmela LaVigna Coyle for several reasons. I love that the princess is on a walk with her involved, interested and caring father. Now that's a role model I want to see more of. I love the simple sentences done in rhyme. Kids will eat that up! And giggle all the while! I love that the princess is encouraged and cherished. And I love the colorful and inviting drawings that show us the wonders of life as the princess discovers each of them. This book is a follow-up to Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots? by the same author.

When I read this book I was almost sure the author and illustrator must have been spying on my husband and daughter. This book is sure to delight any princess. I bought it for my husband to read to our 5yo, but our 9yo daughter liked it as well. Todays girls, who go from collecting rock to sniffing flowers to prancing around in princess costumes all in a matter of minutes, will definitely relate to this book. Eight thumbs up from my family!

Do Princesses Really Kiss Frogs is an adorable story with catchy rhymes and cute pictures. The author does a great job asking silly questions that curious little girls might ask. The pictures are detailed enough to keep any young reader busy. I also love the cover. Of course, I'm partial to blondes. And that froggie is just too cute for words...
