It's one thing for egomaniacal bunny Narcissa to openly insult various forest animals' appearance, but when she disses a magical frog ("Now, YOU are one ugly dude!") who is poised to grant her a wish, he takes revenge. All this is funny enough, but the wild-card ending will keep kids in stitches over multiple reads. The pointedly average-looking Narcissa resembles a floppy-eared snowman.
