The Frog Prince

I know it’s intended as an early-reader version of the fairy tale, but the language is stilted and the re-telling is a strange one: the princess breaks the witch’s spell by throwing the frog agains the wall, and she never once exhibits any kind of redeeming qualities, but then after the spell is broken they get married and live happily ever after? Why on earth would the prince want to marry her?  I know it’s good to have several different versions of folk tales, but I wouldn’t waste money on this one, even if it does have a pretty, shiny cover.
