CoverThe Paper Bag Princess
by Robert Munsch
ISBN 978-1550379150
Every girl should read this book both when she is little and when she starts dating. In order to rescue the handsome prince she is to marry, the clever and brave Princess Elizabeth takes on the fire-breathing dragon that just leveled her kingdom. When Prince Ronald is less than enthusiastic about a badly dressed, soot covered rescuer, Elizabeth has to reconsider her definition of “happily ever after.” Forget the princess stereotype and pick up this book that’s all about girl power. Recommended for ages 4-8.

An excellent book to help your child focus on faces, and colors, as a little something in the picture changes with every turn of the page.
