The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker

The Frog Princess by E.D. Baker is a twist on the old tale of the princess who kisses a frog and he turns into a prince. Emeralda is a rebellious princess who will not fit into the role of Princess that her mother has defined. When Emeralda kisses an enchanted Frog Prince, he does not turn into a human prince - she turns into a Frog Princess. Life as a frog is not easy, yu have to master tongue catching of bugs, bug eating, frog swimming, and identification and evasion of predators. It's a good thing that Emeralda has Eadric with her since he has years of experience being a frog.

Emeralda and Eadric journey to find a solution to their dilemma and along the way they find out about trust, the problems that can come from judging by appearance, and how choices made for a moment can affect our whole lives.

Very funny. Very punny. Strong but not perfect female characters (just like in real life).
