This retelling of the Princess and the Pea is muy bueno! The story stays true to the familiar story - princess needs to stay the night, so queen tests to see if she’s a true princess with an unrealistic challenge (pea under 20 mattresses). The twist with this story is that it’s also a spanish primer.
Beginning with a glossary (nice touch, it gave the reader a heads up that there were Spanish words to look for) the simple poetic text replaced important english words with the Spanish - printed in red so you knew they were there. The illustrations are delightful, colorful and cultural. This was a fun read.
