About This Book
Elizabeth, a beautiful princess, lives in a castle and wears fancy clothes. Just
when she is about to marry Prince Ronald, a dragon smashes her castle, burns her
clothes with his fiery breath, and prince-naps her dear Ronald. Undaunted and
presumably unclad, she dons a large paper bag and sets off to find the dragon
and her cherished prince. Once she's tracked down the rascally reptile, she
flatters him into performing all sorts of dragonly stunts that eventually
exhaust him, allowing her to rescue Prince Ronald. But what does Prince
Not-So-Charming say when he sees her? "You smell like ashes, your hair is all
tangled and you are wearing a dirty old paper bag. Come back when you are
dressed like a real princess." (At least he has the courtesy not to mention that
the princess's crown resembles a dying sea anemone.) In any case, let's just say
that Princess Elizabeth and Prince Ronald do not, under any circumstances, live
happily ever after.
Canadian author Robert Munsch celebrates feisty females everywhere with this
popular favorite, and Michael Martchenko's scratchy, comical, pen-and-ink
drawings capture the tongue-in-cheek quality of this read-aloud crowd pleaser.
