Description

Once upon a time there was a princess named Penelopea. Penelopea lived in Capital Pea, where people ate peas by the pound—pureed, poached, and pan-fried!There was just one problem. Penelopea hated peas. So she came up with a plan—but it led to a catastropea of epic proportions! Eventually, in an effort to make peas disappear from the kingdom forever, she tries just one pea . . . then another . . . then another . . . and discovers they are positively pea-licious after all. Includes a section for parents and caregivers with ideas for introducing picky eaters to new options and encouraging children to eat a variety of healthy foods.
