The Real Princess: A Mathemagical Tale

40 pp. | Barefoot | March, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-905236-88-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Fatus. Primo, the king and queen's eldest son, must marry a real princess, so his mother employs the classic pea-under-the-mattress test. Two contenders sleep comfortably (and end up marrying Primo's younger brothers), but the third tosses and turns all night--proving she's the real deal. The promised math content is tangential to the tale. Rich-hued, round-edged acrylic and collage illustrations add whimsy.
