Quite an entertaining book with excellent artwork and a happy albeit foreseeable ending.

My son was quite tickled at how the story ends with "...they lived happily ever after..." right on the first page. I guess I am too much of a tease because he just assumed that I was "reading it wrong" as a joke. It took a bit of convincing to make him believe that it really said that!

This story is about the Frog Prince and Princess after the "happily ever after" and the fact that they are not so happy after all. Particularly the Frog Prince, who is still very frog-like and longs for the good old days. Without getting into too much detail, it turns out that things could be much worse and his wish for "happily ever after" turns to a wish for a lack of "unhappily ever after". If you think about this too long, it may get a little depressing - "Be happy with what you've got! It could be a lot worse!" - but on the surface, this is a funny and conversation-starting picture book.

I recommend this for any and all public and school libraries. Get several copies and keep one on display at all times. It will fly off the shelf!

"...and they lived happily ever after." Or did they? The Frog Prince and his Princess aren't getting along too well. He can't seem to stop trying to catch flies on his tongue, or bouncing on the furniture. His Princess, well, in short the relationship just isn't working out. One day the Princess threw an awful fit, and the Frog Prince decides to get someone to turn him back into a frog. After several adventures in which only a good knowledge of fairy tales, long legs and patience keep him safe, he comes back to his castle after realizing the worth of his Princess, and the two go back to living happily ever after. This time however, things are slightly different.

The pictures in this book couldn't be called cute and cuddly, or even cheerful, unless the one doing the calling either doesn't know the meanings of the words or was being sarcastic. The story is told well, and flows nicely. This is a fun book for one who always wonders what happens next.

I hate it when books leave you in suspense of what it left to happen. This book is a perfect example of what should be done to books. It gives you an update of what happens from the frog becomes a prince. I found it to be very good.

The book that I read was ok Because the story has a little bit of everthing like snow white and the gingerbread house. The frog prince is not happy living with the princess at first. she bugs him because he still acts like a frog. He jumps around and looks for witches to turn him back into a frog. At the end he realizes that he still loves the princess and they live happily ever after.

I liked this book because it has surpsises and I liked the artwork too. it had really strange pictures.

"The Princess kissed the frog. He turned into a prince.And they lived happily ever after..." Well not really. The Princess nags; the Frog Prince has bad amphibian habits that drive her crazy and neither are living very happily. So the Frog Prince decides to go out and find a witch to turn him back into a frog. Along the way, he meets familiar characters from other stories and finds out that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, with the princess. In fact, upon returning home, the Frog Prince kisses the Princess and... This is a silly, irreverent story, told in hip language, with a wonderful twist at the end that will delight and amuse children of all ages. Steve Johnson's illustrations are marvelous and add just the right touch to compliment the story. Great fun for the entire family, The Frog Prince Continues is a story not to be missed.

It's exciting and funny and the illustrations are great! It's a good story for all ages. I am 8 years old and even though I love big books and "The Frog Prince Continued" is an easy book...it is GREAT! What people say about other books like "it's soggy at first" doesn't apply to this book. It just isn't the case with this book!

With beautiful illustrations and a witty story, this book takes the phrase "happily ever after" and turns it into a fairy tale of its own. The frog prince, tired of his nagging wife, heads back into the forest to rediscover happiness. His encounters with witches from various legends bring him to the realization that he was better off at home.

This book makes a great gift for your significant other after you've had a fight.

The Frog Prince and Princess were not getting along. The Princess said, "Why don't you turn back in to a frog. So the Prince ran out of the castle and tried to find a witch that would turn him into a frog, but there was no witch that had the right spell. Finally the Prince found a fairy godmother and she turned him into a carriage. At midnight the spell broke and the prince ran home. Both the Prince and Princess kissed and both of them turned into frogs and they lived happily ever after.

The title speaks for itself. I always try to give a copy of FROG PRINCE CONTINUED to newlyweds. When the bloom is off the rose, it's a good book to have around.

My 4 year old neice wanted me to read her this bedtime story the other night! I loved it! It was so fun that I decided I had to get it for a single girlfriend who will be 32 next week! Now I know why we can't find our own Princes, they are all wanting to be a Frogs!!
