The Paper Bag Princess (Munsch for Kids)

Product Information

Discussion could also center on more child-sized roles, which they may find in games like playing house, playing with dolls and action figures, and playing sports. Even after all these years, Elizabeth kicks dragon ass and Ronald is still a bum (he's actually more of an asshole, but this is a kids' book, so "bum" is what you get). Robert Munsch has truly done an awesome job at writing this story about how a princess loses everything but still wanted to save the love of her life. It then ends with an illustration of Elizabeth running off into the sunset with glee since they did not get married after that. But, I think I would have liked this a lot better had it only been about the dragon, or only been about the relationship with the prince - but I didn't like them both together because one seemed to undermine the other.

An excellent opportunity for discussion: of means and results; of roles and responsibilities; of parents' plans and what is right.
