Princess Penelopea Hates Peas is a charming and plucky story about picky-eating. Princess Penelopea lives in Capital Pea where peas are plentiful and popular.

But there is a problem. Princess Penelopea hates peas! So she comes up with a plan to make them disappear forever, leading to a catastropea of epic portions.

In a fractured fairy tale that turns the original The Princess and the Pea on its head, Princess Penelopea realizes that peas aren’t so bad after all. In fact, they might even be great.

The story features a note to parents and caregivers with strategies to help children enjoy a variety of healthy foods.

The accompanying illustrations are whimsical and colorful, and help turn a topic that some children may hesitate to embrace into a book that is a great deal of fun to read.""--Foreword Reviews ""Whimsical, colorful artwork turns this into a fun story....This spirited title will work in a food-themed storytime and is perfect for parenting sections.""--School Library Journal"
