    About The Very Smart Pea and the Princess-to-be

    When it comes to sorting out a Real Princess from a Fake Princess, the famous pea-under-the-mattress test is tried-and-true. But for those of you who may have wondered how anyone could feel a tiny garden-variety pea under the weight of twenty mattresses, this book will put that question to rest once and for all.

    This witty spoof was shortlisted for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK. It was Mini Grey’s first book and a worthy predecessor to such favorites as Traction Man is Here!
