Once upon a time there was a princess named Penelopea. Penelopea lived in Capital Pea, where people eat peas by the pound—pureed, poached, and pan-fried! There was just one problem. Penelopea hated peas. So she came up with a plan to make the king and queen think she had eaten her peas, but it led to a catastropea of epic proportions!
Eventually, in an effort to make peas disappear from the kingdom forever, she tries just one pea...then another...then another...and discovers they are positively pea-licious after all. Includes a section for parents and caregivers with ideas for introducing picky eaters to new foods, and encouraging children to eat a variety of healthy foods.

      PreS-Gr 1-Princess Penelopea hates peas. She wouldn't touch them or smell them, and she certainly wouldn't eat them. This is a problem because Penelopea lives in Capital Pea, where peas are grown, sold, and eaten by the pound. The king and queen try different ways to get their daughter to eat the peas, with no success. In an attempt to make peas disappear forever, Penelopea tries a pea and realizes she actually likes them, and it's not a "catastropea" after all. Whimsical, colorful artwork turns this into a fun story. A note to parents in the back shares information about getting children to try new foods and strategies for introducing healthy eating. VERDICT This spirited title will work in a food-themed storytime and is perfect for parenting sections.-Sarah Polace, Cuyahoga Public Library System, OH
