Princess-wannabe Rosebud is so particular--about clothes, about food--that she throws a royal tantrum. Later her father tells her the story of the Princess and the Pea; it's unclear what it's meant to elucidate (is the marble he finds under Rosebud's bed the reason she's so ornery?). Unlike Rosebud's dinner, the text and airy illustrations go down easy.

Stepping on one another's noses, toes, necks, and tails, the zoo animals are demanding to be let out of their cramped quarters. The text, song lyrics from the 1960s musical Do Re Mi, doesn't quite work as well when spoken. Frantic cartoon-style illustrations are packed with graphics that emphasize the congestion. Occasional gatefolds add to the frenzy.
