What is The real princess: a mathemagical tale about?
When a king and queen set out to find a real princess for one of their three sons, three possible brides arrive at the palace. The queen devises a clever test involving a pea, a towering pile of mattresses and plenty of counting. As the royal household bustles with horses, dogs, grooms and gardeners, readers can practise adding, subtracting and counting along with the story. This playful twist on a familiar fairy tale ends with extra number games to explore.
