Kaye Umansky - Author
This is a comic fairy-tale premise about a prince forced into an unwanted transformation. Its humour appears to come from his indignation, self-importance and unusual approach to choosing a girlfriend.
Prince Valentine of Romantica is absolutely outraged - some raggedy old witch has had the audacity to turn him into a frog! A FROG! This just cannot be allowed to stand. He's far too busy interviewing princesses for the honoured post of his girlfriend to be hopping around and squatting in murky water. He had a points system and everything. But apparently he needs to learn manners. Honestly, some people ... A side-splitting comedy caper, complete with Kaye Umansky's sparkling wit and spot-on humour, this is sure to be a hit with boys and girls of all ages. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 8+

Sign in for personalised guidanceThis is a comic fairy-tale premise about a prince forced into an unwanted transformation. Its humour appears to come from his indignation, self-importance and unusual approach to choosing a girlfriend.
Prince Valentine is outraged by his transformation and is told that he needs to learn manners.
The prince interviews princesses for a girlfriend and uses a points system to assess them.
Pay attention to how the story handles the prince's points-based search for a girlfriend: does the joke invite criticism of judging people, or is the idea mainly used for comic effect?
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
