Description

This book humorously explores the famous pea-under-the-mattress test to distinguish a Real Princess from a Fake Princess. It delves into how one could feel a tiny pea under twenty mattresses, effectively putting any doubts to rest. The book was Mini Grey's first and was shortlisted for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK. It serves as a precursor to later favorites like Traction Man is Here!
