The Queen of the Frogs

(3) K-3 Translated by Lyn Miller-Lachmann. Illustrated by Marco Somà. In this Portuguese import, when a "crown" (a human's lost ring) lands in a pond and a frog finds it, the pond's amphibious denizens agree that she's now the queen and must "give orders...and punish the frogs who don't obey." This delicious riff on the misuse of power is accompanied by predominantly green- and brown-hued art with Beatrix Potter–like delicacy and the subdued mirth of Arnold Lobel.
