The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas by Tony Ross and illustrated by Sue deGennaro



The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas by Tony Ross and illustrated by Sue deGennaro was released earlier this year in the US. The concept on this one--and the riff on Princess and the Pea--is rather cute and fun. This was originally published in Australia in 2009 and has made its way to other countries this year thanks to Scholastic.

Book description from publisher:

After tiring of the needs of overly demanding princesses, Prince Henrik devises a test to find a girl who is not so sensitive, using a very thin mattress and an entire packet of frozen peas. His dream girl shows up unexpectedly in the form of his old friend Pippa, who is all too happy to pitch a tent or play a hard game of hockey, after which she finds the perfect use for that packet of peas! In this twist on the fairy tale, Tony Wilson and Sue DeGenarro deliver a freshly humorous take on one prince's search for the just-right girl of his dreams.

And here are some illustrations:
