The Paper Bag Princess


Title: The Paper Bag Princess
Author: Robert Munsch
Genre: Gender
Summary: Princess Elizabeth is slated to marry Prince Ronald. A dragon attacks the castle and Prince Ronald gets kidnapped! In resourceful fashion, Princess Elizabeth saves him, but he is less than pleased with her appearance as a Princess. He doesn’t think she looks like a Princess so he tells her to go change, and she can come back to him when she actually looks like one.
Characters: Princess Elizabeth, Prince Ronald
Plot: N/A
Theme: Gender differences
Opinion: I enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was a cute way to introduce children to gender differences. In a younger classroom of children, it is important to talk about the differences between boys and girl and what is appropriate and inappropriate.
