The Poodle and the Pea

The Poodle and the Pea by Charlotte Guillain is a delightful retelling of the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea where all the characters are dogs instead of poodles.

This is an adorable book that kids will love.  The pictures are cute and silly and the story is very simple.  My favorite part is the afterword that encourages readers to retell the story in their own version and gives another simple retelling of the original story.

Appropriateness:  This is a very easy to read story that kids will love.  I would recommend it to readers 2-7 and teachers who are looking for books to illustrate how folk tales can be retold in different ways and change through time.
