The Princess and the Pea: A Pop-Up Book

Sarah Aronson. Little Simon, $14.95 (14pp) ISBN 978-0-689-84685-4

""Twenty mattresses. One hidden pea. One sleepless night."" The Princess and the Pea, adapted by Sarah Aronson, illus. by Chris Demarest, breaks it down to basics, with spare text that leaves the pictures to tell most of the story. Throughout, pop-ups and pull-tabs bring the tale to life while tiny mice throw in their two cents via humorous talk-balloons. (Aug.)
