Here are some reviews of
The Horned Toad Prince:

"We enjoyed the book. We read it last night.
Books are my favorite. I like the drawings. The
pictures are beautiful. Little funny, but not too
much. It was fun."

"The art was colorful and I like the details on it.
I like the story because it had a Spanish twist
to it."

"An entertaining version of 'The Frog Prince' with a Texas twist.... Airbrushed luminous artwork is reminiscent of the work of Berkeley Breathed in its exaggeration and energy; the perspective, with various slants and angles, makes each illustration a treat. The characters, bursting from their confinement within the frames, will evoke smiles."

School Library Journal

"The unusual perspectives and broad humor of Austin's over-the-top airbrush illustrations in shades of violet and gold capture Reba Jo's comical disgust as she tries to wiggle out of her unpalatable bargain as well as the ugly toad's insouciant charm as he connives his way free from his curse. Is marriage in store for our plucky heroine and the handsome caballero she frees with her kiss? The deliciously surprising double-twist ending leaves readers free to decide for themselves."

Publishers Weekly

"The story of the frog prince gets a sassy update and a brand new southwestern setting.... This is fun and thorough. Hopkins' telling sizzles with southwestern panache, complete with Spanish words interspersed in the text. Austin... uses an exaggerated styles that will make kids grimace and giggle at the same time. Fractured fun at its best."
