Primary (probably for read aloud). This is about a group of frogs where one of them finds a crown and becomes queen. She then becomes bossy and conceited, but then she loses the crown and has to learn about humility again. This book could be used to talk about the importance of staying humble and not letting power go to your head because after all, everyone should be treated equally.

What a great modern fable that can be used as a mentor text as well as to teach a lesson. Life in the pond was quiet and pleasant. The frogs caught flies, played and sang at night. One day, something round and metallic fell into the pond and the frogs dove down to see what it was. When one of the frogs came up with it, one of the frogs decided it was a crown. This meant the frog who found it was now the "Queen of the frogs". Everything started to change. Her advisors told her what to do and what not to do, she began bossing the other frogs around and life was not the same. This is a great story to teach and reinforce predicting, reasoning and drawing conclusions. It can also be used to model a modern fable before having children write their own. I would use this with classes in late primary, early junior. This is a great story with amazing illustrations. The detail and expression in the illustrations can tell a story all on their own. A book for every school library for students to read as well as teachers to use. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )
