Sunday Times
Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s original tale, this madcap rhyming story of a flea, a grasshopper and a frog who compete to see who can jump highest and ask the King to adjudicate is a triumph
Daily Mail
I would highly recommend this beautiful book. The combination of the rhyme, exciting story and stunning illustration is bound to delight any little one and their grown-up at story time
Armadillo Magazine
Incredibly clever and funny, with amazing illustrations which are as elaborate as the king's majestic wardrobe
Picture Book Snob on THE KING'S BIRTHDAY SUIT
Hilarious... Narrated through a masterful rhyming text that bounces along as energetically as its characters, <i>The Royal Leap Frog </i>is a delight to read aloud
