Let's talk about

The Paper Bag Princess has become a classic after almost 30 years of success with parents who want a feisty princess to show to their daughters. It has now been translated into more than a dozen languages and has been turned into a toy, a play and a puppet show.. Yet it was not the first strong girl fairy tale, and certainly there have been many more since its publication. I can tell you about other great titles from old tales to new. In fact, though it is hard to dislike her gumption, I’ve never really liked this princess very much. What do you think? And what do boys think of this story? Are there grownups now who remember this story from childhood? How does it live in your memory? Read or reread this book online in through Tumblebooks on the Library’s Kids Page.
