Review: A review of The Princess and the Pea
A pop-up book illustrated by Chris Demarst
Adapted by Sarah Aronson

One word comes to mind in reading this book. Why? Except for the fact that the illustrations done by Chris Demarest are fresh and colorful.The illustrator has a good command of handling watercolor and pen and ink. The characters are interesting.

The writing of this book appears to be a bit disjointed. It seems that one has to reread the book, not for pleasure, necessarily but that there seems to be parts missing or hidden. Apparently one does not an English degree in rewiting a story that is a children's classic. My little sister Ema do not really enjoy this book. She did like the mice though. Gretle did not understand the concept of a woman who can't sleep on a ton of mattresses with a hidden pea can be a princess. "Princess Diana was Lady Diana, before and she married a prince to become a princess. How come this prince just could not find a nice lady to make his princess, there are lots of nice girls." said Gretle.
