Description

There was a green pea who swallowed a sprout. Without a doubt, a Brussels sprout. What’s that about?

This little pea is SO hungry! So hungry that he has swallowed a sprout, slurped down some soup, munched all the bread, wolfed down the pie, gobbled the cake, noshed all the pickle, guzzled the cheese (that made him sneeze), drank all the tea, and then, chomped up the table! And after ALL that, he needs to have a rest. But just WHOSE food was he eating? And WHOSE bed is he resting in? Cue … one very grumpy, very hungry princess … with a taste for revenge.

A highly imaginative modern retelling of fairy-tale classic, The Princess and the Pea, and much-loved nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly, with artwork that is both stylishly detailed and incredibly funny.

Publisher Review

A pea slurps, gobbles and munches his way through a feat in this comic reimagining of The Princess and the Pea [...] Hodgkinson, who co-creaed Olibob Top, clearly had fun imagining why the Pea of the original tale stopped the princess from sleeping, and in this bright and bouncy version the Pea is gloriously greedy and round. * The Bookseller *
