(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. A lighthearted fractured fairy tale with a sturdy message: to be without imagination may be even worse than being turned into a frog. A frog tells a girl a story (a true tale, which turns out to be their own) about a prince whose friendship with a jolly stable girl thrives until the king, hoping to divert him, acquires a potion from an old woman. The story is clever and well plotted, and the elegantly limned illustrations are full of fun.
