Marty McGuire: Frog Princess Audiobook

" This book is probably just right for a third grader. I love Marty--what a delightful heroine in the vein of Ramona or Clementine. "

" The easy to read adventures of a girl who prefers frogs to frilly dresses, but who learns to get along with her girly friends too. "

" I love the spunkiness of Marty - she reminds me a little of Beverly Cleary's Ramona. I love that this book showcases girls who enjoy sneakers and frogs but can still find room to wear a tiara in there. The dialogue between the teachers and students is so realistic and I love that Marty's parents let her show her creativity, but still give her guidelines. I'm so excited for the next book in this series. "

" I'm excited to add this series to the library. Marty is a well-rounded, interesting character that is sure to connect with young readers. "

" What a strong character we have in Marty. Both my friend and I read this book while at camp with our 6th graders. She stated how great it was how in the end the characters overlooked their differences and interests and were able to compromise and find a way to play together. Can't wait for the next adventures with Marty. "

" Marty is a confident, fun, tomboy who dislikes girly things. She is surprisingly chosen to play the lead female role in the class play. After much preparation on the casts part, Marty makes the secret decision to tweak the play just a little to make it more interesting. This was a fun, quick read! I highly recommend it to young readers and young-at-heart readers alike. It will leave you with a smile and a greater appreciation for childish pranks. "

" This is a great book! She is a lot like me. She likes nature and having adventures outside. "

" Loved, loved, loved. And I am totally allowed to say that! "

" Fun read about a tomboy who is cast as a princess in the school play. "

" Marty is a spunky character with ideas and opinions all her own. "

" Fun story with 3rd grader Marty McGuire as the main character. Marty is a bit of a tomboy but her teacher casts her as the princess in the class play, The Princess & the Frog. Marty ends up putting her own spin on the production. Readers who enjoy Judy Moody with also find Marty McGuire fun. "

" A good quick read for beginning third grade. Well written, a character third graders can relate with, and opens up many discussions with kids. It is amazing how sometimes the most simple and every day ideas get kids thinking and talking! "

" Marty hates dresses, but loves to catch frogs. This is a great book for tomboys everywhere! "

" Great story with a heroine the likes of Ramona Quimby. Marty McGuire navigates third grade, friendships, and the art of compromise. Readers will identify with her trials and celebrate her unique spirit. I can't wait to pass this on to a friend who teaches third grade. Fun read. "

" Marty McGuire might be my new favorite book! A great choice for readers new to chapter books. "

" An engaging, easy-to-read chapter book for middle grade readers. Girls AND boys will find ways to connect with this exuberant character. "

" For fans of Clementine, etc. Marty thought third grade would be more fun, but with her best friend hanging out with the class snobby girl and with Marty being cast as a princess in the class play, third grade isn't really turning out the way she thought it would. "

" An awesome, funny short chapter book that begs to be handed to young tom boys (and maybe the princessy girls, too, to see what life is like for other girls, and I think most boys would enjoy it, too). "

" This was a lot of fun! I like the no-princess girl making the whole princess thing work in her own style. "

" Great for grades 2-4 students! Entertaining characters and plot. Love the things that Marty says and does - she's sure to be a favorite of many young readers! "

" Borrowed my nieces' book to read while on vacation. Cute story "

" Great! My third grader loves to play with (and compete with) the boys, but still wants to be girly, too. Also, she has dyslexia, so this is a great book for us to read together. It builds her confidence as it is a chapter book, but not too difficult. Moving onto "Marty Digs Worms" next. "

" A marvelous book with a spunky heroine. I look forward to more Marty books! "

" Marty McGuire is kind of like Ramona with a tomboy twist. "

" I fell in love with Marty McGuire, and I know many young girls that will too! "

" I've been reading a number of good, solid books with 3rd grade spunky girls, and here's one more! Great for kids who want to read fun and funny contemporary fiction, but need books a litle easier than the "Clementine" or "Cinderella Smith" titles. "

" I've loved meeting Gianna, Claire, and now Marty. Kate Messner creates a perfect book for our young readers. Marty is such an interesting girl, a tomboy at heart, and I throughly enjoyed following her adventure. "

" Marty would rather catch frogs than play princess. When she is cast as the princess in the 3rd grade play, she uses her newly acquired improvisation skills to add some excitement. A fun read which features a smart and spunky heroine. "

" Such a great read! I read it with my little girl and we simply adored this one Kate :) "

" Love this character and this book. A great book for kids who love Judy Moody, Clementine, Roscoe Riley, etc. The story is told in first person by Marty and she is a character you love almost instantly. A fun read and hopefully the first in a series. "

" This new novel is similar to Judy Moody and Junie B. Jones. Younger readers will enjoy it. "
