The Princess and the Pea (Penguin Young Readers, Level 2)

Great book

Art work lovely,

I'm a grandparent now that grew up with the fairy tale about the princess and the pea. So when my own granddaughter had a birthday, I couldn't resist buying this book for her. When I asked her several weeks later what the book was about, she recalled the story perfectly.

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

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.

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.

My favorite version of Proncess and the Pea! Love the illustrations!

I sewed a princess with all the mattresses and the pea and bought this little book to go with it. The printing is big with lovely pictures and it has be one a favourite with my friends three year old daughter

Das bekannte Märchen ist ideal in kleinerem Format mit ansprechenden Bildern und übersichtlichem Text versehen worden. Es regt zum Selbstlesen bei Leseanfängern an, jedoch auch zum freien Erzählen in Englisch bei noch kleineren Englisch-Anfängern. Für den Unterricht und zu Hause einfach prima!

Bought this for our granddaughter after she had been learnng how to pod pea's. She loves it asking for it again and again. Great for story telling but she will learn to read it herself.

各ページに、数行の英文の繰り返し。本当に初心者向きなんですが、この有名なお話を知らない息子は、面白がって聞いていました。私にとっては、こんなに簡単な英語を使って、この有名なお話が「語れてしまう」と言う事自体が、びっくりでした。絵がきれいです。退屈になりがちな子供英語のテキストの一冊としてどうぞ。

gefällt meine kleine Tochter sehr gut, einfach super gut geeignet für kinder die mit lesen gerade beginnen, kann ich sehr gut weiter empfehlen
