I've been trying to read more bilingual books, and this one did not disappoint!
A hilarious retelling of the Princess and the Pea with some Spanish vocabulary throughout. There’s a twist at the end and a little hidden adult humor that kids won’t catch onto;)
A fun retelling with the prince taking a more active part to ensure the girl passes the test.

A cute take on a classic story. Incorporates a bit of Spanish, colorful designs inspired by Peruvian culture. Beautiful art.

ADORBS! Will be searching out more books by this author and illustrator! Beautiful pictures and who doesn't love a rhyming story!
This is an engaging retelling of the Princess and the Pea. I like how it weaves in many Spanish words (and includes a glossary at the FRONT--what a wonderful touch!!).
The story still follows the traditional arc of the fairy tale, but I do appreciate the twist. In addition, the princess may have some agency because the prince proposes to her, implying that she accepts before the wedding. The illustrations are beautiful and in the end papers, the illustrator Martinez-Neal says that the textiles were "inspired by the weaving and embroidery of indigenous people of Peru."
This would be an excellent book to add to any library collection.
