Summary/Back cover:
Today is St Valentine's Day and in order to feel like a prince, Snog the Frog needs a kiss. But no one will doe the honours - not Cow, Sheep, or even Snake! And if Snog actually does find a willing princess, what on earth will happen then? A fun-filled fairytale, featuring the cheekiest frog in the kingdom!

Review:
With bright, cheerful illustrations, this book is a fun and cheeky read. With my son's current obsession with anything frog related, this was an obvious choice for us but we were pleasantly surprised by the humour in it. It's always nice to find something that appeals to the adult readers, especially when your young one grabs a pile of 7 or 8 to read at a time.

A bit boisterous for a bed time read (unless you follow it up with a quieter read), we give this a 3.8/5.
