A spirited, contemporary retelling of the classic fairy tale, featuring a hilarious, Southwestern spin.

Reba Jo loves riding all over the wild prairie and roping any critter unlucky enough to cross her path. But when the spunky cowgirl finds herself in a mess of trouble, she's forced to strike a deal with a horned toad-he'll save her hide, but only if she grants him three wishes. Reba Jo tries her darnedest to weasel out of her part of the bargain, but the clever horned toad won't let her off the hook. In the end, she comes to see that a promise is a promise and that words once spoken are not easily taken back.

Author Jackie Mims Hopkins's sizzling Southwestern retelling of the classice fairy tale, THE FROG PRINCE, is enhanced by the Spanish vocabulary sprinkled throughout the text, and is complemented by Michael Austin's vibrant, distinctive illustrations, which colorfully transport young readers to the untamed, dusty prairie.
