not just for princesses

I read this story to my son, 3.5 years old and avid dragon lover. I received this book as a young girl and loved the book because I believed it asserted the princess' independence. As I now read it to my son, I think it relays a different message, people who love you will do anything for you . . . and you need to appreciate it! My son understood that the princess did what she did for love of the prince and at all costs . . . without me telling him! Great story.

Short but Sweet

There's not much to this story, it ended almost as soon as it began. However, it's perfect for bedtime or short-story reading in the classroom if you don't mind squinting at the pictures. (this particular version of the book measures aprox. 2 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches) Both of my children got a giggle out of hearing it. My daughter loved the princess-as-heroin aspect and my son enjoyed the dragon portrayed as the kidnapper. A great story, for what it's worth and easy to follow along. I recommend getting a larger print version for sharing.

The Paperbag Princess

One of my all time favorite kids books. This is not your mother's fairy tale princess. Hey, dragon!

A pretty and clever princess outwits a dragon to save a prince

A fractured tale that usurps the typical fairy tale theme of princesses being rescued by noble princes. A wonderful twist for brave young girls who intend to grow up to be smart self-sufficient women.
