The Paper Bag Princess

Today we read the book
The Paper Bag Princess
By Robert Munsch
It is a classic!
Look at that hair! (Naptime bed head!)
Before I read the story
Miss Sassy and Baby H. got "Princess" fruit snacks.
I had her sort them by color, count them and eat them.

We decided to act it out.
We love acting out books!
We got out our own paper bag princess, dragon, castle, and prince.

It was so fun to hear her repeat lines from the book.
And it was fun to see her get into it!

Here are the princess books that we will be reading this week:

The Paper Bag Princess
By Robert Munsch
(Of course!)

Castle an Eyewitness book
This is a fun way to actually learn about
princesses and midevil times.

The Princess Pea
By Lauren Child
This book has the best illustrations.
It's very fun to read.

Dora's Favorite Fairy Tales
I don't normally like T.V. character books,
This one is really great.
It is geared to children, and it is full of really great stories.

Cinderella
(A Pop-up book)
Illustrated By Matthew Reinhart
This book is beautiful!
It takes your breath away!

What are your favorite princess books?

  5. See if you can find a copy of Marigold and the Dragon. It's a terrific princess book and my favorite when I was a kid. I recently wrote about it on my blog.http://momandkiddo.blogspot.com/2011/02/awesome-intrepid-princess-book-marigold.html

  6. I like the classics like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. I like Beauty and The Beast because the girl is empowered.

  10. I LOVE this story. We always did lessons with this when I was in the classroom. I read it with my girls but we never did any activities with it - might be time to revisit it again. A Princess theme might be in our future!

    Hope to see you link up to the Sunday Showcase this week - http://momto2poshlildivas.blogspot.com/2011/07/sunday-showcase-kid-friendly-linky.html
