The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch

5.0

---

As a mother to 2 young girls who are currently very princess obsessed. You can imagine how exciting it was to finally find a princess that doesn't need rescuing. Gone are the days of princesses who only want to accomplish marrying their "prince charming". Princess Elizabeth is a strong and resilient princess who is also very clever and brave. She outsmarts a dragon to rescue her prince and future husband. However, after Prince Ronald shows his true colors and is unappreciative of all that she did for him she isn't afraid to value herself and kick him to the curb. You should hear the cheers in our house every time we reach the end and Princess Elizabeth calls Ronald a bum! I love sharing this story over and over again with my young girls as a leading example of all the characteristics I hope for them. Princess Elizabeth is strong, brave, smart, clever, and confident. She is a TRUE PRINCESS!
