Praise
A unique parody of an iconic, cumulative, rhyming nonsense song. . . . For readers familiar with both stories, the ending is much funnier than either tale on its own—although it also stands alone. The careful scansion replication allows readers to sing the text as a refreshing replacement of other versions. . . . A superior revision.
—Kirkus Reviews
This picture book takes its whimsically nonsensical premise and pairs it with a catching cumulative rhyme and “The Princess and the Pea” fairy tale. . . sure to have kiddos giggling and chanting along at an ideally pre-lunch storytime.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
The Princess and the (Greedy) Pea is a slyly funny, wonderfully rendered reimagining of children’s classics that will have kids clamoring for a reread—and a giant bowl of green peas, too. . . a visual feast of a picture book replete with vibrant colors, intricate patterns and expressive characters.
—BookPage
A book that combines humor, repetition, and vibrant illustrations to create an engaging reading experience. . . . A clever rhyming sequence keeps young readers entertained and helps them grasp fundamental concepts and patterns. . . . This engaging book fosters language development and cognitive skills in children. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to provide an enjoyable and educational reading experience for little ones.
