 Interesting...very interesting. May 9, 2008

This fairytale of the Princess and the Pea is retold with expertise. It is true to the original tale by Hans Christian Andersen. The varying font--from normal typeset to italics to large bold print--make the actual reading quite interesting for the one reading. The paperdoll cutouts used for the characters bring a unique dimension to the artwork which is more than enjoyable--it is superb. The real life diorama backgrounds are detailed. With each reading -- and there will be many! --you see new facets to the artwork that were overlooked previously. This is a truly great edition and highly recommended.

THIS BOOK IS ALMOST FOR ADULTS. I HAVE TO PARAPHRASE IT SO MUCH FOR MY CHILD THAT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN I'M THE MOST EXHAUSTED, THIS BOOK IS TOO MUCH WORK. MY CHILD ENJOYED THE PHOTO'S BUT YOU CAN'T READ IT WORD FOR WORD. IT'S VERY WORDY AND OVER KIDS' HEADS.

I love her work and this is sooooo beautiful--it kills me! She is such an amazing artist. Have not yet read it to my kids but they will like it too and should appreciate the wonderful artwork.

Great take on the classic story wtih really unique illustrations that are multi-media looking. However, best suited for older children or moms/dads may want to give a condensed version at bedtime as this version is long; probably more than what mom or dad want to read at bedtime...

I adore this book! I picked it up while shopping in Anthropologie a few months ago and it's been in frequent rotation at bedtime in my home since then. I have a daughter who is four and infatuated with princesses. This book offers her the glimpse of royal life that she loves, while at the same time letting me get lost in the beautiful illustrations and quirky dialogue. You can't help but read dramatically from this book! Speaking as an artist/designer, this book has amazing visual appeal. I especially enjoyed reading how the pictures and models were made. I would love to see more from this talented duo!
