A talking toad, a ruby-eyed hag, and a brave girl who won’t give up–if you think you know the story of the princess and the frog, you haven’t read Melinda Busch’s re-telling in The Maiden and the Toad. Told in lyrical, old-fashioned language and beautifully illustrated by Jeff Gerke, The Maiden and the Toad is an adventure, a thriller, and a romance all at once, and will be a favorite for all ages.
“[The Maiden and the Toad] is in the top few of the best children’s books I’ve seen in my 40 years of reading to children. I’m always searching for great books for little ones that aren’t dumbed down or agenda-driven. Just great literature populated by great characters. Beautiful artwork too!” ~Janet Williams Maxim
