La Princesa and the Pea

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal. This rhymed retelling of the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale incorporates a plethora of Spanish words and phrases; the illustrations--created with acrylics, colored pencils, and graphite on handmade paper--set the story in Peru, with clothing and other textiles inspired by those of several different Indigenous Peruvian communities. Both text and art emit much energy and humor. Glos.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
