Never Kiss Frogs!

Robert Leeson
Illustrated by David Simonds
(Puffin Books)
978-0140347401, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Never Kiss Frogs (Young Puffin Read Alone)" on Amazon

Tales of Gail and her problems with frogs, princes, princesses and her mum make an entertaining short novel for young juniors who are fluent and fairly sophisticated readers. The combination of a very down-to-earth modern setting with a comic fairy tale element makes the book interesting and the story rattles along to a suitably down-beat ending... 'they all lived happily ever after - sort of'.
