Regina was all excited because her birthday was just around the corner and every girl in her class was invited. Her best friend Paula was almost as excited as she was. Her mother had already taken her to the Buttery Bakery to pick out her cake and it was going to be the most scrumdiddlyumptious cake you ever did taste. At school Regina was discussing her party with Paula saying, "My party's going to be a princess party." Of course they both LOVED to play princess and this would be a great party. ... Read More

I've read a lot of special needs kids' books, and they all too often fall into the trap avoided by the Princess and the Peanut Allergy: too saccharine, or too simple.

The book analagizes a tiny bit of peanut to a little tiny pea under a princesses bed in "the princess in the pea"-- helps kids to understand that even a tiny little bit can hurt. Also addresses some social problems kids might have regarding allergies. Really a sweet story that my two year old non-allergic girl loves even more than my four year old with allergies. I think it would be great for older children as well.

This book delivers a good story without being preachy about the difficulties of peanut allergies. The Princess and the Pea analogy works, and makes sense. As a result, Regina comes to her own conclusions about how her choice of birthday cake will affect her friend's health and ultimately their friendship. A great book to use with "The Peanut-Free Cafe."
