Nobody Asked the Pea

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright. A clever but disjointed reworking of "The Princess and the Pea" gives voice to the many characters in the drama--including Patrick the Pea. Each page or double-page spread presents a new point of view, some entirely peripheral to the central story (Roger the doorman, Mother Mouse). The watercolor illustrations and the lengthy text are diverting but not entirely satisfying.
