The princess and the (greedy) pea
—Hodgkinson, Leigh, author, illustrator.
2023

Book

This little pea is very, very hungry. So hungry it swallows a sprout, slurps up some soup, munches the bread, wolfs down the pie, and so much more. What will happen when it runs out of things to eat? And just whose dinner did it steal, anyway? A gluttonous pea runs afoul of a very hungry princess in this playful cautionary tale inspired by a favourite cumulative rhyme and a classic fairy tale. With bold, delightfully funny illustrations and a bouncy rhyme that begs to be read aloud, this wickedly funny mash-up of "The Princess and the Pea" and "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" will have little listeners clamoring for multiple helpings.
