This is a classic fairy tale that has been retold in many versions over the years. The version we love is the beautifully illustrated one by Rachel Isadora.
This is a story about a princess and a frog. The Princess promises to be the frog’s friend if he retrieves her golden ball from a pond.

Our family in Twenty-seven years of homeschooling has read a lot of books.
Reading books, listening to books, and writing books have been the glue that has kept our family fresh in thinking. If you haven’t already, make reading a focal point in your homeschool now!
In my experience, reading has helped me to stay centered and not lose my mind while homeschooling.
