The Paperbag Princess

 
 
Munsch, R. (2012). The paper bag princess. NY: Annick Press.

"The Paper Bag Princess" is about a princess named Elizabeth who had everything anyone could want. That is until the day a dragon took everything from her, including her prince charming. She was determined to get him back. After putting her brilliant plan into action she finally got him back. To her surprise and dismay he insulted her for how she looked. Being the smart princess she was she decided she didn't need him after all.

Textbook Assignment 1:


Characters: The characters in picture books should be convincing and credible with personalities that emerge as interesting and distinctive.

Elizabeth, in “The Paper Bag Princess” was a character that really stood out to me. She was smart and witty. I also liked the fact that she realized what a jerk her fiancée was and didn’t get married after all. This broke the mold of your traditional happy ending.
