Publisher's Summary

The Princess and the Pea gets a fresh twist in this charming bilingual retelling. 

El príncipe knows this girl is the one for him, but, as usual, his mother doesn't agree.  

The queen has a secret test in mind to see if this girl is really a princesa, but the prince might just have a sneaky plan, too...

Listeners will be enchanted by this Latino twist on the classic story, and captivated by the vibrant culture of Peru.

What the critics say

"This engaging read-aloud is a fresh reimagining of a classic [...] The endearing and playful illustrations set the story in Peru [...] And the pea under the mattresses test? Let's just say that the prince makes sure his chosen one passes with flying colors." (School Library Journal, starred review)

"Reading this would be a fabulous way to compare and contrast and use [readers's] knowledge of the first story and the colorful illustrations to make inferences as to meanings of words and phrases." (School Library Connection, starred review)

"The classic Hans Christian Andersen tale unfolds with Latin flair [....] Martinez-Neal's darling, soft-edged mixed-media illustrations bring the brown-skinned characters to life in costumes from different regions of Peru" (Kirkus)
