Author: Retold by Will Eisner
Title: The Princess and the Frog
Publisher: Nantier, Beall, Minoustchine, Inc., 1999.
Grade Level: 1-4
Summary: A young prince is placed under a curse that turns him into a frog, which can only be broken by a kiss.
Strengths: The comic book illustrations brings this fairly tale to life for young readers. Most people are familiar with the story of the Princess and the frog, but Eisner’s illustrations and retelling of the story is great. The comic style is funny and imaginative and I think readers would truly enjoy this.
Classroom Use: I think this would be a great addition to a study on fairytales to demonstrate to students the various ways fairytales are told and retold. Students may also enjoy retelling one of their favorite stories using the comic book style of Will Eisner.
