The Princess and the Pea

Bibliographic Info: Isadora, R. (2007). The Princess and the Pea. Illus. Rachel Isadora. New York, New York: Penguin Group Inc. (USA).

Annotation: This is the classic tale of The Princess and the Pea with a twist. Isadora tells the tale of a young African Prince and his journey to find his Princess. The Prince travels the world and is suprised to find his true Princess literally knocking at his door. The tale follows the original wih the Princess sleeping on a bed of tweny matresses and twenty feather beds with a pea at the very bottom.

Genre: African Fiction/Fairytales

Grade Level: PK-1

Readers who will like this book: Children who enjoy fairytales and wonderfully bold illustrations. Educators will delight in the cutural twist from the "original" tale.

Personal response: I love this book. Rachel Isadora has become one of my favorite children's book authors and that is why I have choosen to do the author study on her. The illustrationsare beauriful and she does a great job retelling an old story with a personal touch. I rate this book at a well deserved 4.
