Prince Francis is going to marry Princess Frieda and everyone in the kingdom is rejoicing.

Except Prince Francis. He used to be a frog until the princess kissed him. Now, thanks to her fairy godmother's spell, he's a handsome prince.

Only... he never asked to be.

But if he won't do as he's told, learn his wedding vows and be more princely, everyone he ever loved in the pond could be lost...

Ali Sparkes has written more than 50 books for children. She loves frogs. And foxes. And fudge.

She likes to look at the world from a funny angle (which sometimes makes her neck ache) so she wondered how the fairy tale frog who got kissed by a princess would really feel.

The Prince Frog explains how Ali reckons the frog might really feel.

Ali lives in Southampton, England, with her family and a big woolly labradoodle called Willow.
