Have you every wondered why one pea would make the princess's mattresses so lumpy? Well, here's an explanation.
Thoughts: How fun! I've loved Leigh Hodgkinson's books ever since I read Goldilocks and Just One Bear back in 2013. This story was so unexpected. I love that it's form is like This Is the House that Jack Built. The Princess and the (Greedy) Pea will be such a fun addition to either a fairy tale or food themed storytime. The illustrations are colorful and I love the addition of onomatopoeias when the pea is eating. During storytime, I think I will have the kids repeat them after me. Pair with Federico and the Wolf by Rebecca J. Gomez, A Cooked-Up Fairy Tale by Penny Parker Klosterman, Little Red Hot by Eric A Kimmel, and The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza written by Philemon Sturges for a fun foodie fairy tale storytime. Also try this poem: “Recipe for Fairy Tales” from Follow the Recipe: Poems about Imagination, Celebration & Cake by Marilyn Singer.
