The Paper Bag Princess

by Michael Martchenko, Robert Munsch   |  Ages 5-8
The Paper Bag Princess
The Paper Bag Princess

Princess outsmarts dragon, redefines strength and beauty.

"The Paper Bag Princess" will delight you with its refreshing take on fairy tales. Elizabeth is not your typical princess—she's resourceful, brave, and challenges traditional gender roles. While the storyline is simple enough for young children to enjoy, its message about self-worth and independence is powerful enough to resonate with readers of all ages. This classic story is perfect if you're looking to inspire a young reader with a tale of empowerment and wit.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
