BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
In the mountain Joseon kingdom, it was time for the crown prince to marry a princess chosen by his parents. Jeongsoon wanted to be a princess to help the hungry so she agreed to compete in the Manners Test, and the Wisdom Test. The queen chooses her out of all the other girls to compete in the final sleep test. Will she unknowingly feel a tiny grain of rice underneath 100 blankets? Will Jeongsoon pass the test even when she lets a hungry mouse eat the grain of rice?
I really liked Cho's Korean retelling of the Princess and the Pea. Jang's illustrations are interesting and beautiful.
