What Customers Say About The Paper Bag Princess (Classic Munsch):

I think it is inspirational for all the "real" princesses out there. We used it as a Reader's Theatre piece. I was first exposed to this book in my Elementary Teaching Language Arts Class. I would love to see more books in this category that show strong women for girls. I love that this book is a definite reversal of strong characters. The princess emerges as the strong heroine that is true to herself. I also would love to see more books for boys in the young adult category that can interests boys in reading. It is refreshing to see these trends beginning to emerge.

This starts out like your classic fairy tale, a dragon terrorizing a kingdom, a kidnapping but wait.it's a princess to the rescue. Stike one up for a liberated woman. This charming story tells of a princess who uses her wits to rescue a prince in distress. What makes this book even more fun is the surprise ending. This tale can be used in classrooms from kindergarten to fifth grade. It would make a great addition to a classroom library to do a compare and contrast activity with a more traditional fairy tale.

why must the heroine either conform to princess norms or face life alone. I was excited to read this book and based on the reviews as a "feminist" children's story I bought it without reading it first. I think the story is weird. No prince (or princess for that matter) out there who could love this spunky girl in a paper bag. I won't read this one to my daughter.

This is a good, fun story for children. It can be used to talk about values and traits that we should value in others.

Great meaning at the end of the story but it kind of just ends abruptly.
