The Paper Bag Princess

This children's book tells the story of a princess who uses her cleaverness to save the prince, but that is only one important part of the story. 

Just as the beautiful Princess Elizabeth is about to marry Prince Ronald, a dragon smashes her castle and kidnaps Ronald. Oh, no! Elizabeth comes to the rescue, handily disposing of the dragon and rescuing Ronald. But what's this? In a surprise ending without a "happily ever after," Elizabeth shows her spunk and sense of humor. For anyone who wants to shatter stereotypes. 24 p., paper. Read to me pre K-3. The Paper Bag Princess 

This delightful tale is one of the National Women's History Project Executive Director, Molly MacGregor's personal favorites.  She never misses a chance to read this book outloud!
