The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas
I picked up The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas by Tony Wilson at the library this week. This is a spin on the old tale The Princess and the Pea. In this story, Prince Henrik decides he doesn't want an overly sensitive princess like his brother has. Instead he uses a bag of frozen peas and puts them under a camping mattress. He finds a princess who is a perfect fit for him. I am not necessarily a fan of princess stories, but I had to get this one as it was about frozen peas. For a while I ate them every day at lunch...so much my coworkers noticed and give me a hard time about it. It would be a good story to share with elementary aged children, perhaps inspiring them to write their own version of a well known tale.
