(4) K-3 Illustrated by Henry Cole. This version of the familiar fairy tale features a plethora of words beginning with the letter P. The princess here is a poor pig who, after a sleepless night in Prince Proudfoot's guest room, decides to marry Percy-the-Pizza-Pig instead. The alliteration gets annoying, but the watercolor illustrations of the peach-toned pigs are consistently playful.
