In this fresh take on the classic fairy tale of “The Frog Prince”, the “princess” is Arlyn, a kid who loses her baseball in a murky pond and grudgingly agrees to be friends with Bellamy, the frog who fishes it out for her. As soon as Arlyn gets her ball back, she runs away laughing, never intending to keep any of her friendship promises. Bellamy appears unexpectedly to join Arlyn’s family for dinner - where Arlyn's parents insist on treating their weird guest with gracious hospitality. Through dinner, a baseball game, and a slumber party, the kid and the frog finally, really do become best friends! Families love this heartwarming tale of acceptance and friendship.
