Just when she is about to marry Prince Ronald, a dragon smashes her castle, burns her clothes with his fiery breath, and prince-naps her dear Ronald. Undaunted and presumably unclad, she dons a large paper bag and sets off to find the dragon and her cherished prince. Once she's tracked down the rascally reptile, she flatters him into performing all sorts of dragonly stunts that eventually exhaust him, allowing her to rescue Prince Ronald. But what does Prince Not-So-Charming say when he sees her? "You smell like ashes, your hair is all tangled and you are wearing a dirty old paper bag. Come back when you are dressed like a real princess." (At least he has the courtesy not to mention that the princess's crown resembles a dying sea anemone.) In any case, let's just say that Princess Elizabeth and Prince Ronald do not, under any circumstances, live happily ever after. Canadian author Robert Munsch celebrates feisty females everywhere with this popular favorite, and Michael Martchenko's scratchy, comical, pen-and-ink drawings capture the tongue-in-cheek quality of this read-aloud crowd pleaser. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson Product Description: The Princess Elizabeth is slated to marry Prince Ronald when a dragon attacksthe castle and kidnaps Ronald. In resourceful and humorous fashion, Elizabethfinds the dragon, outsmarts him, and rescues Ronald--who is less than pleasedat her un-princess-like appearance. Full color. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Real Book for Girls!!!I am so glad that I found this book! How refreshing to find a tale that I can read to my daughter where a) the main character is a girl, b) she is strong and courageous, c) she doesn't need the man! While being inundated with "the magic of Disney" and the weak, pathetic, princess brigade, I realized that I didn't want my daughter exposed to any of that crap. Sure, as my mom has pointed out, I read those stories, but really how many stories about weak, ineffective, victims does it take to drill home ...

BUT, I took off 2 stars for the SIZE of the book. I suppose it's my fault for not looking at the dimensions, but seriously, who makes a book this small?? I definitely won't be able to use this version for read alouds, but I guess my kids will get a kick out of it. I, however, doubt I will personally read it myself. Rating: - A must for any girl's libraryThe Paper Bag Princess, by Robert Munsch, is a must for any girl's library. On the first page, we are introduced to Elizabeth, a princess who lives in a castle with expensive princess clothes, who is going to marry a prince named Ronald. Then comes the shocker on the next page: "Unfortunately, a dragon smashed her castle, burned all of her clothes with his fiery breath, and carried off Prince Ronald." Princess Elizabeth has to wear a paper bag as she goes off to rescue her prince. For most ... Read More Rating:  - Paper Bag PrincessFabulous and empowering in a not so subtle way...perfect for little girls. Only negative, lacked story development. Rating: - A story to pass down!My mother bought this story for me in 1995. I used it originally for a story telling speech tournament which I won first place for. She then kept the book until I had my own daughter 2 years ago. My daughter LOVES this book, I'm thinking if I should have it laminated. It is her "princess book". She loves this book so much she is going to be a dragon for halloween! (interesting that she chose to be a dragon and not a princess) We rotate this book with about 5 other Robert Munsch books she adores!
