    The Paper Bag Princess....The Feminist Cinderella!by LiteracyMaven

    November 28, 2009: This delightful book tells the story of a princess who is in love with a prince and who ends up rescuing the snobbish fop from a dragon, only to be totally unappreciated. Her resolve and her sense of herself. not to mention her quick thinking save the day! This book helps little girls to realize that a titled prince is not always a "real" prince and that they have the power to fight dragons and succeed!

    Told in a truly charming, funny and clever way, the book is a classic by the great children's author Robert Munsch. It is well worth the purchase price and a must for teachers teaching fairytales and parents of little girls.

    I Also Recommend: The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs, Yeh Shen, The Reluctant Dragon, Love You Forever, Stephanie's Ponytail.

    June 06, 2009: This is not about your disney princesses- this book will empower your daughters to believe that they don't need someone to save them, they are clever enough to save themselves. It is a wonderful story for the early years and reading aloud, and finally for young readers who are reading on their own.
