Summary: Beautifully written and fun to read
Comment: It's so hard to find books for my middle reader children that aren't either dark and violent or "too little kid-ish" for them (as they would say). This book is the perfect alternative: it's a fun read, but so beautifully and elegantly written that my kids were learning new vocabulary words without even realizing it. The story has a moral center, which I loved, but it's told in such an energetic and interesting way that as far as my kids were concerned, it was just a great tale. The illustrations are fantastic--I especially liked the Toad Prince. Highly recommended.

Summary: Brilliant!
Comment: How to categorize this book? A fairy tale, a love story, a race against time, a journey of self-discovery, or just a cracking good read? It really doesn't matter, however you describe it, you'll love it. As a child, Pilgrim's Progress was one of my favorite books---this is Pilgrim's Progress with a twist, and a wonderful sense of humor. I smiled through the whole thing, and even laughed out loud at parts.
Alice Scovell Coleman writes beautifully, and manages somehow to sustain an air of excitement and suspense all the way to the end, even though we are all expecting the "happily ever after." The final chapters are truly just beautiful. This is a book I can't wait to read aloud to my children, ages 6 and 9, and a book I'm sure they'll want to read to their own children.

Summary: How do you teach vocabulary?
Comment: While I agree with the other reviewers that the story is fun, I dislike the insistent footnoting of 'vocabulary' words on almost every page. Readers or listeners with good English will pick up most meanings from context, and the definitions tend to be just a small step simpler than the original (e.g. "alliance: union, cojoining" (sic) on page 6.) Unless the book is being assigned as a class lesson there is no good reason to pepper it so.
