Amazing twist submitted by pk on July 10, 2012, 9:43pm A must read for all little girls - and boys! In a twist on the usual tale, the princess tries to rescue her prince from an evil dragon after the dragon burns down her castle and all her clothes - leaving her to wear a paper bag. She is brave and clever enough to save her prince - only to find out the prince isn't grateful for her effort - he's upset because she's dirty. A true classic and a lesson for all about what really matters.

Great! submitted by Zekicmom on July 23, 2013, 9:32pm This is no stereotypical damsel in distress story. The princess can take of herself and knows what really maters. The illustrations are wonderful too.

great book! submitted by fairytale on July 26, 2013, 8:22pm Great message!

Great lessons for girls submitted by LC Smalls on August 16, 2013, 5:53pm This book is great for teaching young girls that they don't need boys to save them.

Girl Power! submitted by cbrewster on August 16, 2013, 6:56pm This is a great book for girls! Finally a fairytale where the girl is the hero!

A Classic That Kind of Shows Its Age submitted by Meginator on July 11, 2021, 12:42pm This classic picture book finds a princess seeking to avenge a dragon’s attack on her castle. The story set-up is fairly straightforward and simple, but the book’s cleverness (and its lasting appeal, I reckon) comes from the way in which the unnamed princess confronts the dragon and her subsequent rebuff of a (useless) prince. Though the book is fairly old at this point, this approach feels very modern, even if the text and illustrations occasionally show their age. This book still fits well in a modern bookshelf for modern readers, and was certainly an influence for many authors who read it as kids themselves.
