Eh. Interesting alliteration but I think I just don't really like the story of the princess and the pea in any version.

A very funny retelling of "The Princess and the Pea" with a much more satisfying ending.
I love the use of many "p" words in the text and pictures. A great way for young readers to work on initial sounds and vocabulary words.
This is a very silly book, but I really liked the character of Princess Pigtoria. Her reaction to finding out the prince's plan was priceless. Oops... there I go with the "p" words.
This book is contagiously humorous.

The team that brought us Four Fearless Foxes and Fosdyke and Some Smug Slug is back! Princess Pigtoria is very poor, so she proceeds to pursue Prince Proudfoot, who is looking for a perfect princess. Things are complicated by the appearance of Percy-the-Pizza-Pig, who delivers Pigtoria’s pizza. The Princess invites Prince Proudfoot’s staff to join her in polishing off the pizza, “and everyone performed the polka until they were pooped.” You’ll have to peruse the pages personally to find out the rest of the plot, but I guarantee it’ll be peppier than a pitcher of pineapple punch.
