This hilarious retelling of The Princess and the Pea with a Wild West twist is perfect for a read-aloud!

Farethee Well is a woman of strong mind and bodacious beauty, but when suitors come to ask for her hand in marriage, can she tell a real cowboy from a fake?
 

“This excellent retelling of Andersen's The Princess and the Pea . . . is by far the most original to come along in the past few years.” -- School Library Journal
 
“Johnston's clever parody is rich with the language and details of the Wild West. Ludwig's colorful illustrations heighten the story's exaggerated humor . . . A great choice for a read-aloud.” -- Booklist
