Episode 80: Wacky Wednesday – Princess Penelopea Hates Peas

from Storybeam · host Storybeam

It is Wacky Wednesday and today we have a princess with a very strong opinion about a very small vegetable! We are reading Princess Penelopea Hates Peas by Susan D. Sweet and Brenda Miles. A wonderfully hilarious fractured fairy tale that turns The Princess and the Pea completely on its head to help children overcome picky eating. If your little ones have ever pushed a vegetable to the side of their plate, this one is going to hit very close to home and have everyone at the dinner table laughing!📖 Grab the book and support indie bookstores: https://bookshop.org/a/125553/9781433820465Our Storybeam Suggestion this week: if today's princess and her pea problem made your little ones giggle check out I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato by Lauren Child.
