This is very definitely a childrens' book, but I picked it up because I had previously read a couple of more 'mature' books by Napoli: 'Zel', which retells the story of Rapunzel, and was excellent, and 'Beast', which is based on Beauty and the Beast, and was also good. 'The Prince of the Pond' is also a fairy-tale-based book, working with The Frog Prince. As I said, it's definitely for younger readers - but it's also quite funny, with an original take on the story, from the point of view of a female frog who meets the prince after his befuddling transformation - and finds him quite fetching - enough so to forgive his quite un-froglike behavior, and attempt to save him both from himself and the frog-munching witch of the swamp. ( ) This book is ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS, especially if you like to read out loud to other people. It takes the well-known fairy tale "The Frog Prince" and gives it a generous dose of spunk and wit. My mom read this to my little brother and me when we were kids (at least 15 years ago), and we still quote parts of it to each other. Trust me ... you NEED this book! The Prince of the Pond is a new and interesting take on the frog prince fairy tale. Napoli has chosen to focus her story after the prince has been turned into a frog up until he is turned back into a human. 'De fawg pin' must learn how to swim, jump, talk, eat *gulp* bugs, and above all, become a frog. He changes other frogs' perceptions about themselves and enjoys a sweet love story. Additionally, the author throws in a lot of science about frogs, pond life, and amphibians -- what I call sneaky education. Napoli is so clever, I always enjoy her take on fairy tales. Donna Jo Napoli has made a name for herself retelling fairy and folk tales. "Prince of the Pond" (three guesses what this one was based on) is one of her best efforts, in my opinion. It's got a cute, informative story for the kids and some nicely hidden kink for the adults—all very Naono Bohra in feel. The illustrations are quite nice, too. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
