I like when authors write down these oral stories that have been passed down for generations so we can all read them. This is an old Scottish ballad about a frog. It talks about courtin’ but it’s really more about the wedding. The Frog simply walks up to a mouse and asks for her hand and the wedding is on. There is a big celebration. The best part is they end up on a boat heading to Paris. Now that’s an ending. I loved the soft artwork of this book. All the little insects and animals had such lovely details. This is a song put down as words and the music is on the last page to sing this to. It’s more like a poem or ballad. The kids thought this was an OK story. The niece did think the wedding seemed to happen really fast. She gave it 2 stars and the nephew gave it 3 stars.
