Let’s Begin…

A fairy tale is a story that is often about a magical, faraway land. Fairy tales are a special kind of fiction story. Every time you read a fiction story you should keep the following thinking jobs in mind: Who are the characters? What is the problem? What is the solution? What lesson can I learn? As you read, "The Princess and the Pea," try to remember these fiction thinking jobs!

Why do you think the queen put the pea underneath the mattresses and feather beds?
