The Paper Bag Princess

The Paper Bag Princess 
Robert Munsch

Let's get one thing straight here.  When it comes to children's books, there is sometimes a definite difference between parents perception and how a kid will respond.  This was one book I've been planning on reading to my daughter for ages.  When it came up in the Kindle charts a few weeks ago, I had to pick it up for the Kindle Fire.  The story is great--a lovely princess is engaged to a handsome princess when a dragon destroys the castle (and her clothes) and carries off the prince.  The princess finds a paper bag and hauls off to rescue the prince.  I thought it was a great little story--the ultimate opposite of the floofy princess book.  Bea (who doesn't particularly care for floofy princess either) would have said "Meh" if it was in her vocabulary.
All in all--beautiful story and illustrations, great tap to zoom on the Kindle Fire and (right now at least) a great price.  But, you never know what will resonate with a particular kid.
