SuitabookPrince Frog Face
Kaye Umansky
- Reading
- Read it as a playful fairy-tale satire, pausing to ask which of the prince's attitudes are being mocked. Revisit the ending afterwards, since its resolution and message remain unclear.
- Themes
- Manners and entitlement: Prince Valentine is outraged by his transformation and is told that he needs to learn manners. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Judging potential partners: The prince interviews princesses for a girlfriend and uses a points system to assess them. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- 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?
