Nice drawings, well written and very funny.
Every little girl who wants to be a princess should hear this tale. One for the feminists.
Love it.
This is a must for every little girl. Call me, I'll come over and read it.
I really enjoyed this book, and it definitely caught my daughter's imagination. I think I might look into actually buying this book, as I think it should be part of our personal library.
Uses in classroom:
-Interactive read aloud
-Independent reading
-Discussing similarities and differences between Princess Elizabeth and other princesses children have read about
-Making predictions and inferences
-Ask and discuss what students would do if they were Princess Elizabeth
So, using the time-honored tradition of "making the dragon boast and brag himself to sleep", our princess rescues the prince... only to find
What's not to like about this story? It's funny, it's short, and it makes a good point: Looks don't matter, and anybody that ungrateful after you save his life is NOT worth your time.
How fabulous can a short children's story be? Elizabeth is a clever and independent girl, and she proves it through her determination, her wits, and her ingenuity. She doesn't wait for someone to save her, she goes off and does the saving. She pursues what she wants. When all her pretty clothes are destroyed, she doesn't weep or lose it, but dons a paper bag with not a second thought and sets off on her quest. She is sure of who she is, and what she has is secondary to that most important quality. It always makes me giggle that the dragon kidnaps Roland, who really is the damsel in distress in this story. Then Elizabeth outsmarts a dragon! In addition, the drawings are hilarious to match a funny story, so it teaches girls about strong role models without being preachy, but silly instead. All little girls and boys should read this story.
