Everyone knows the story of the Princess and the Pea. But do you know the story of the boy who didn't want to marry a real princess? Instead the prince wanted to marry the un-princess, the least princess-ly girl he could find.
I have to say I like this story. I like this story a lot. Parents are always asking me for books with strong female characters who also happen to be princesses (because their daughters loooooove princesses). It can be difficult to find books where the princess isn't a dainty fainting girl waiting to be married by the prince, but this is that book!
The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas is the story of Prince Henrik who loved hockey and camping. All he wanted in a princess was a girl who would love outdoorsy things. Prince Henrik came up with a plan to find the girl of his dreams. If the perfect princess could feel a single pea under 20 mattresses then Prince Henrik wanted the girl who didn't notice an entire bag of frozen peas under a sleeping bag...
Many princesses tried but they all felt the peas and complained loudly about it:
"You won't believe this. I found PEAS in my bed."
"I couldn't sleep at all! There was a massive lump under the mattress."
"What's the deal with the packet of FROZEN PEAS?"
Just as Prince Henrik is about to give up hope his old friend Pippa comes for a visit...
