The Princess and the Pea (Penguin Young Readers, Level 2) Paperback – July 1, 1996

Don’t get me wrong the stories a bit dated. But I loved as a child looking at the pics mostly and reading it dramatically. it may sound weird but it may have helped with diversity? Why can’t a tiger be with an elephant or pig or any other animal that they want to be with. Even though that’s really not what the stories about lol. This new print is larger than original but the picture are still sweet as I remember

This book was ordered for a 6 year old who is learning to read and it was perfect. The words are printed a little bigger so easy for someone just learning to read. The book was a success. I ordered the book because I had made a quilt with the princess on it.

This book is really cute. I loved the illustrations and the more traditional story of the Princess and the Pea.

Prince Ralph, who lives with his parents King Adolph and Queen Frieda in Upper Crestalia, declares that he wishes to be married. Greedy Queen Frieda, who is consumed with her gem collection, sees yet another opportunity to corner the market on gems in the kingdom. Following the pattern of other versions of this Hans Christian Andersen tale, Queen Frieda devises tests for all of the young princesses in the land, who are, of course, unable to pass the unfairly constructed trials. Enter Princess Opaline, a car fixing, jump-rope jumping princess who must pass the pea-under-the-mattress test to win the hand of the Prince. No surprises here; however, the story does have an updated look and feel, and the winning princess once again proves to be a smart, independent woman.

I read this book...this same exact one when I was 6. I couldn't believe it was here. Same wonderful illustrations. Thank you!

My daughter enjoyed this story \just as I did at her age.

great simple story with attractive pictures!

I was aware the book was used but there was red ink scribbling on the front and on a page inside. Also there was “60 cents” written on the inside cover like it had been in a yard sale but I had to pay over $5. That was too much for the condition, but I didn’t know until it arrived. I wouldn’t order that again; not pleased.
