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.’”
Robert N. Munsch, The Paper Bag Princess
