The “happily ever after” part of The Frog Prince story comes into question when the prince and princess forget how much they live each other. Luckily, misadventures then occur.

Cute, amusing, fun. My 4yo loves the pictures enjoys the story. ( )

After being disenchanted by the Princess' kiss and getting married, the former Frog Prince can't seem to live happily ever after. So he sets out to find a witch to turn him back into a frog, meeting witches from many other fairy tales but not having much luck. In the end, his happy ending comes from a surprising reverse. The illustrations are dark, angular and curiously lit, in an extreme caricature style that most kids seem to like.

A humorous counter to the classic fairy-tale ending, with a some serious character development. (Looking around, I see a bunch of kidlit cheat sites claiming that the witches were the antagonists in this one, but I have to say that the Frog Prince is his own antagonist!) This is a good read for kids old enough to understand the references at all, especially with the goofy illustrations and the repeating text. Even adult and teen readers can enjoy it.

I've been a fan of Jon Scieszka's humorous takes on traditional fairytales since I ran across his version of the Three Little Pigs (an instant classic in our house), so it was an easy chice to pick up his version of the Frog Prince as well. Unlike the story of the three little pigs, which is told from the point of view of the wolf, this story acts as a sequel which continues the adventures of the Frog Prince and his Princess after their happily ever after kiss. Except that it's not so happily ever after as we all expected - turns out it's harder than we think to ditch the frog-like behaviour and acclimatize to life as a human! After he runs away from his happily-ever-after the Prince runs into three different witches (all familiar to readers from other stories) before he finds his new and improved happy ending. The question now remains: how will the Princess adjust to life in the pond?! ( )

This is after the happily ever after ending of The Princess and the Frog. The Frog Prince reads his story and looks at the lines "and then they lived happily ever after..." and thought to himself about how he wasn't happy. He goes into the woods and finds all the witches (witches from other stories such as Hansel and Gretel) and asks them to turn him into a frog. Eventually he runs into Cinderella's Fairy Godmother who turns him into a frog carriage by mistake. At midnight he turns back into a prince and runs hoe to the princess who loves him and they really do live happily ever after this time. This type of story opens up the idea that there is something after the happy ending. They can choose to be creative and think of their own ending. It also shows how their is ups and downs in our lives but that is okay. ( )

This may not exactly be a traditional fairy tale, but it certainly references a lot of them. This is the story of the Frog Prince. He kept reading his story over and over again, where it said he was supposed to live happily ever after. But he wasn't very happy. So he went to find a witch who would change him back, and encountered a lot of witches from a lot of other fairy tales. ( )
