Spells by Emily Gravett
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.

Emily Gravett’s Spells is one such innovative book that is more likely to stand the test of time in a free-flow classroom’s book corner than these delicate pop-up treats. In Ms Gravett’s text, split-page technology allows children to sound out mixed-up spells that transform a little frog into all manner of extraordinary creatures in his quest to become a handsome prince * Nursery World *
