The Prince of the Pond: Otherwise Known as De Fawg Pin
Submitted by SarahKate on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 12:04.We laughed out loud throughout this book, it was so much fun to read. It was fascinating to hear about life from a frog's perspective and the girls were so very eager to hear more chapters from this book. It is the first in a series.
