Our Principal Is a Frog!

March 15, 2018
Grades K-3 Principal Bundy wants to surprise his students with a fun assembly, but the inept magician he interviews transforms him into a talking frog, before performing a disappearing act. Whatever will Principal Bundy do? When two kindergartners suggest that the frog become the substitute principal until Mr. Bundy returns, he sees his chance. This four-chapter, laugh-out-loud riff on the Frog Prince will trigger children's imaginations, as they speculate about how they might react in this situation. Calmenson's simple narrative and ample dialogue combine with Blecha's delightfully expressive black-and-white illustrations to present children with a supportive reading experience. The book includes a characters list, a word list with definitions, and a set of critical-thinking questions. Part of the new QUIX Fast Fun Reads line of books for transitioning readers.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
