- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a book about love. The prince wants to find a princess and he goes out in search of one and finds a girl he will ask to be his princess but his mother has to do the test. She lays a pea under twenty mattresses and twenty feather blankets. The next morning the mother ask how she slept and the girl said she could not sleep because there was something poking her the back. The prince said she was to be his princess.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The Princess and the Pea was not very romantic. The illustrations were enjoyable and the characters seemed interesting but the story line was a little slow. The illustrations show how sad he felt while trying to search for a true princess. This is a very simple story but a little complex as well. The prince was sad about not finding someone true. This kind of relates to my personal life. In the end the princess finds him and with an simple test he figures out that she is his true princess. Whatever happened to love at first sight. This is a traditional fantasy.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5There were parts of the story I enjoyed, however there were also parts I did not. I liked how there was a happy ending at the end of the story and the prince found his princess. I think that made the story better because I was glad to see the prince find what he wanted. I also thought the plot of the story was well written. It was written so that the reader wants to keep reading to find out if the prince finds a princess after all his searching. Something I did not like about the story is that it was kind of unrealistic. The odds of someone actually being able to feel the pea through all of the mattresses and blankets is not likely. The main message of this story is that there is someone out there for everyone and if you do not give up you will find your match when it is least expected.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is good for a basis in classic fairytales, but is a bit lacking in sufficient storyline. Although it is a children's book, and is sufficiently simplistic and understandable, the content is slightly underwhelming. I just read this story for the first time, and always thought it was so much more. If a teacher were to use a Hans Christian Andersen fairytale in a classroom, I would advise against this one, because it lacks any depth, moral, or lesson.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cute story. I don't really think there is any point to it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I think, truth would be a theme in this short story. The prince can see through all the fake princesses, until the last one comes to him. He knows shes telling the truth about being a princesses because "nobody but a real princess could be as sensitive as that!"
