(4) K-3 Illustrated by Travis Foster. Princess-wannabe Rosebud is so particular--about clothes, about food--that she throws a royal tantrum. Later her father tells her the story of the Princess and the Pea; it's unclear what it's meant to elucidate (is the marble he finds under Rosebud's bed the reason she's so ornery?). Unlike Rosebud's dinner, the text and airy illustrations go down easy.
