From Tadpole to Frog Prince is a must-have for any young frog lover! This beautifully illustrated children's book tells the story of a young frog's journey from tadpole to prince. The text is simple and engaging, and the illustrations are sure to capture young readers' attention. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fun and educational way to learn about frogs.

A study of frogs hidden inside a fable of The Frog Prince. Although said at the beginning that this is not entirely makes sense, but the authors explained a bit about frogs' life cycle. One interesting book, that we can read about The Frog Prince, and learn about frogs at the same time.

I can see the point here but the interest is likely to be pretty narrow. The audience is likely to be older kids, the ones who might be amused by a scientific takedown of a fairly tale.

A new twist of the old tale, “The Frog Prince”. The tale follows the prince through the teaching of Dr Gnome it-all, the host. The formatting has the appearance of a YouTube video called ”The latest episode of STEM steam”. The book was formatted as a graphic novel which was entertaining as well as educational.
Along with the science lessons, vocabulary words were highlighted along with a glossary with the pronunciations of the vocabulary words. .
Thank you Jason M Burns, Illustrator, Dustin Evans, Stem consultant Stacia Williams M. E.D, Norward House Press, and NetGalley for the opportunity of reading and reviewing this charming book.

'From Tadpole to Frog Prince' by Jason M. Burns with illustrations by Dustin Evans is another entry in the S.T.E.M. Fairy Tales series.

Dr. Gnome-It-All is back to tell another fairy tale, complete with science. This time around, we learn about the life cycles of frogs. We also learn that gold balls are really heavy as the princess loses hers in a pond. A friendly frog agrees to retrieve it in exchange for time in the castle.

This is a fun way to combine a story with science. I liked the mix and the illustrations.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

From Tadpole to Frog Prince is a fun and educational STEM story for children told in comic book format. This is the second in this series I've had the pleasure of reading and I look forward to more of these. These are perfect for educational settings to use to help children learn in a fun way. This story is about the princess and the frog but told with lots of fun facts spotted through the book too. I learned some interesting facts about frogs in this book myself which is always a bonus especially when you work with children. There's a glossary at the back of the book for children to look up what new words mean too. I loved the humour in this one and the illustrations are fun to look at too.

This humourous, STEM focused retelling of the classic Frog Prince fairy tale is sure to amuse, intrigue and delight readers aged 6+ Perfect for use in the classroom when introducing the concept of animal life cycles this comic strip style picture book encourages critical thinking and curiosity about the world around us in a highly accessible and attractive way. I'd love to see this made into a cartoon for classroom use as I think it would be high engaging for primary aged pupils and I look forward to reading more from the series.
Thanks to Netgalley.co.uk and Norwood House Press for the free eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A STEM fairy tale from the classics on the metamorphosis from a tadpole to the frog. The frog/prince gets the girl and lives happily every after. For the science minded child that needs a little more when reading. This will fit the bill. The illustrations are in comic book layout. An enjoyable read.

A special thank you to Norwood Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

A nicely flippant approach to the story of the Frog Prince, and the changing mood of the Princess who had her golden ball rescued by the frog that wasn't a frog. I think this did more with the core material than the sister volume concerning the Billy Goats Gruff, but at the same time the STEM-minded gnome who narrates is still rather too intrusive with his blather about the frog life cycle, and cutaneous breathing and so on. Just a tadpole's kick over four stars – and not one that has worked out.

I enjoyed this! The science of the life cycle of a frog tied into a self-aware retelling of The Frog Prince. I loved the poking fun of and point out of inaccuracies and unlikelihoods in the story. A great story to introduce and continue an interest in animals for young ‘uns.

I LOVE Jason M. Burns's STEM fairytales! They're genuinely fun and entertaining while smoothly integrating scientific lessons. When I see Dr. Gnome-It-All, I know I'm about to read a great kids book. I love that there's always a glossary of vocabulary terms and additional reading included.

Beautiful illustrations, fun characters, an educational twist on beloved tales, and charming puns - what's not to love?

Super cute book. I wanted fairy tail like stories to read to my daughter. The art kept her interested and it was fun to read to her.

Great little book in this excellent range that takes a well known story and extends it to make a science lesson which is fun!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this book in exchange for my review.

this is a combination of alternate fairytales and science. theres scientific facts & informations accompanying the tale, especially frog metamorphosis. there's even a glossary that contains unfamiliar words and further reading material if the reader interested to dig in further. it's interesting.

Another STEM Fairy Tale I just couldn't wait to read.  Again, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineer and Math and I truly believe this all needs to be introduced to kids at an early age to get more of them interested in it.  This time Dr. Gnome-It-All tells us a story "From Tadpole to Frog Prince".   This time we start out by learning about a fable and that our story will end with a moral.  We also learn about the life cycle of a frog - hence from Tadpole to Frog Prince - a retelling of The Frog Prince, with its STEM twist.  

Another really funny and informative read and I can't wait to see what other STEM Fairy Tales there are for me to explore...

I received a free e-copy of this book from Net Galley in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

As a STEM PhD I appreciate any media that encourages children to explore. I realize this is from a nerdy adult's perspective, but I found the little play on word jokes hilarious and think that it is attention grabbing. I loved the "Once Upon a Fact" opener, but the placement of the other facts made the story slightly disjointed. There are definitions throughout that encourage learning.

While I thoroughly enjoyed this comic, I'm not sure how far the audience would extend with children. If the child has a thirst for knowledge, like I did or my nieces do, then they will absolutely adore this book, but if they are uninterested in science this might not catch their interest. Regardless, I will be recommending this to my STEM oriented friends and their young children.

This is a rather lovely version of the Princess and the Frog. The story is used to teach sciene, in this case about Frogs. The narrator is Dr. Gnome-it-all who is constantly marveling that a princess can pick up a gold ball. She tells him why – she works out. The breaking of the fourth wall is funny in this story.
The story doesn’t change much from the original, but the inclusion of science is nicely done.
The creative team of Burns and Evans get bonus points for using people of color for the main characters and highlighting the fact that you can be a princess, like wearing dresses, and like working out. That was nice.
I liked the “Once Upon a Fact” squares. This is an excellent mash up of fairy tale and science.

From Tadpole to Frog Prince by Jason M. Burns - 4/5

This was a fun twist on a classic fairy-tale that brings fun awareness to science and critical thinking to children. While reading this story all the kids were beyond invested in the evolution of the tadpole to frog process. The scientific terms used throughout the story were a tad bit much for my age group but that didn't take away from the learning and fun. I liked the comic strip style of illustrations.

I wanted to like this book. I like the idea of using fairy tales to talk about scientific concepts. However, I found the gnome more sarcastic than informative. He goes around the story poking holes in the plot line to interrupt with facts about the story, but he reads more as an annoying character than an informative helper.

I love the idea of using a classic fairy-tale to introduce science and critical thinking to kids.
And this was a very nice execution of this concept.
Maybe some of the scientific terms used are a bit too difficult for the intended age-group, on the other hand, if they never encounter these words, how will they learn them? Everything is explained in a friendly and concise way.
My only, little and personal peeve was how much Dr. Gnome-It-All resembled Rien Poortvliet´s David the Gnome, but without Poortvliet´s magical realistic touch.
