Review Detail

In this charming rendition of the classic "The Princess and the Pea" fairy tale, young Prince Henrik is longing to be married--not to a typical princess, but to someone much more down-to-earth. He decides to weed out the 'sensitive' princess-types when they come to his castle with a different method than a single pea and 27 eider-down mattresses, and much to his luck, it ends up working for him!
My first run-through of this book made me chuckle, but when my husband read it, he gave it a firm thumbs-up. With an outdoorsy Prince who defies what the typical guy wants, he felt it was a good way to help teach our daughters about what a great guy will someday look for in a girl, and how important it is to just be yourself. Personally, I am thankful for something else to add to all the princess mumbo-jumbo that eeks its way into my daughter's consciences. The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas is a fabulous addition to my princesses' repertoire. The illustrations are adorable and the pastel colors add a nice look to all of the fun drawings.
