A hopeful little frog tries to turn himself into a handsome prince by piecing together the torn pages of a spell book. There's just one problem although Frog knows all about magical spells, spelling is another matter . . . There are lots of laugh-out-loud moments to share in Spells, a wonderful and inventive story from Kate Greenaway Medal winner, Emily Gravett. Have fun flipping the mix-and-match pages to follow Frog as he struggles through a host of jumbled spell combinations and extraordinary guises (Rabbit? Fabbit?! Prabbit!?!) in search of his fairy tale ending.
