When the princess accidentally drops her ball in the pond she doesn’t expect a frog to bring it back to her, and certainly doesn’t expect the frog to follow her home! But is the frog really all he seems? This wordless version of the traditional tale is stunningly illustrated by author and illustrator Chris Fisher.
