Purini Rango

Author: Joy Cowley

Once there was a frog who had been a prince. He knew he could become a prince again if he were kissed by a princess … but there’s this cute girl frog on the lily pad next door … When the girl frog asks him to marry her, he tells her he can’t because he’s a prince in disguise, and off he goes to find his princess.
