Alastair Chisholm, illustrated by Jez Tuya
(Walker Books)- hardback
£12.99
Jamie and Abby help their father prepare a campfire story. They insist on a prince, a princess, a witch and a frog- a brave frog. It seems that the rotten meanie ogres have stolen all the ‘keys of the kingdom’ and thrown them to the bottom of a dungeon. Nobody in the kingdom can get into their homes or ‘start their horses’! Is it possible for the witch with the wicked wand to entrance the ogres? Perhaps a juggling horse can help? Abby and Jamie are full of ideas. However, Abby is insistent that Barry, the frog will save the day.
Yet, if the prince and princess, horse and witch are discovered when a ‘clanging bell [rings] through the castle’ how might Barry help? It seems that the Grubber ogre catches the rescue party in his ‘huge, hairy fists!‘ Is this the moment for The Tale of the Valiant Ninja Frog to hop forward?
The witty, layered, progressive storytelling is funny, exciting and imaginative. It seems as though we can hear Dad, Jamie and Abby building their story. Thereafter, Jez Tuya’s pictures are comic book bright, witty and perfectly sequenced.
Bookwagon loves this engaging, imaginative and happy picture book. The Tale of the Valiant Ninja Frog is a delight!
