Tiana is beautiful, but most of the movie follows Tiana and her prince as frogs. Don't bother trying to explain it to little ones; it is complicated to follow but beautiful to watch. Dr. Facilier, the voodoo witch doctor must not be too intimidating because he was the one my two year old (three next month) wanted to meet at Disney World so badly, followed by Tiana and Prince Naveen. (The irony is that she panicked when meeting Tiana and Prince Naveen at Disney World. It was priceless.) I highly recommend the movie for diversity purposes. I know Disney has attempted to introduce diverse princesses with Mulan, Jasmine, and Pochahantas, but Tiana is a hard-working, modern day African American girl from the Bayou. I love that she is not a young girl searching for her prince to "rescue" her. Instead she works two jobs and saves every penny to fulfill her dream of owning her own restaurant. It even turns out that the prince she falls for is broke and self-absorbed. It is Tiana who teaches him self-sufficiency and appreciation for others, certainly admiration for her and her hard work. Opposites attract and the two become best friends and are willing to sacrifice for eachother. The result is magical and Tiana becomes a true princess.Read full review
I had seen only part of this movie but was captivated by the story of a princess and a frog in Louisiana in the Bayou. Since I probably will not see the rest of the movie, I thought that this book would fill me in on the story. It did! Beautiful artistry. Vivid colors that jump from the page.

Our granddaughters love the movie so we decided to get them the book also. Both of them love to read so we thought this would be a good book for them. They love it. Every time they visit us, they get the book and read it. I would recommend this book to everyone.
