Spells Review

TITLE: Spells
AUTHOR: Emily Gravett
PUB DATE: 2009

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A lovelorn frog and some very mixed-up spells! A hopeful frog tries to turn himself into a handsome prince by piecing together the torn pages of a spell book. There are lots of laugh-out-loud moments to be had with the mix-and-match pages as Frog struggles through a host of jumbled spell combinations and extraordinary guises (Rabbit! Frabbit? ! Prabbit! ? ! ) In search of his fairy-tale ending. Children and adults will love sharing this wonderfully funny and inventive book.

MICHAEL’S THOUGHTS:
This is another book that was on the Cybils Award list.

We loved Spells. I loved the cover.

Spells is about a lonely little frog who finds a book and uses his imagination to pretend he is a pirate sailing the seven seas. But its just a book of spells and he is just a frog.

He then pretends its abook about castles and he is handsome prince kissing a beautiful princess. But its just a book of spells and he is just a frog.

Then frog realizes it and decides he will cast a spell and make himself a handsome prince. The spell works until he kisses a princess.
