The Princess and the Pea

(3) K-3 The classic Andersen version is familiar: everyone wants to marry the prince, so his mother, keen to identify a true princess, places a pea beneath twenty mattresses. Isadora sets the tale in East Africa, and she uses cut paper to create astonishing folkloric tableaux.
