Book Review: The Paper Bag Princess by Robert N. Munsch

In my wander and culling of photographs, this little book fell out from between two not so memorable photographs. I read it in a few minutes and decided that a Book Review was in order. We all have our dragons and this told me how to deal with them. (Christmas used to be kind of ferocious.)

Book Review:  The Paper Bag Princess

A whimsical and very wise story 

of a beautiful princess and 

a fiery dragon that snatched 

her handsome prince away.

When all the finery had been burned, 

a curious story of resilience and courage 

emerged so the princess 

could save her prince.

The end of the story, I’ll not tell. 

This tiny story tells 

that big or small, we can put

all our dragons to rest.

“‘Wait,’ shouted Elizabeth. ‘Is it true that you are 

the smartest and fiercest dragon in the whole world?’     

‘Yes said the dragon.’”
