I am always on the lookout for a more modern idea of a princess in a story. I just love this book by Barbara Joose called Loveabye Dragon. It is a sweet tale of a fearless girl who does not dream for a prince but for a dragon as a friend. It has a lovely lesson of strong friendship with the most unlikely of friends with an imaginative and lyrical text. It is illustrated by Randy Cecil and is refreshingly pink-free but still has the magic of princess that girls crave.
A new classic, perhaps?What is your child's favorite Princess book? xoxo Queen Laura
Isabella has so many, but since we've read Frances Hodgsen Burnett's (sp.?) A Little Princess she loves everything Sara Crewe.
ReplyDeleteChristopher's favorite is The Prince's Bedtime.
