Absolutely one of my all time favourites! As an ECE teacher I can honestly say that this adventurous story has been read over and over to many children. Children love it and it's a must have for any teacher, parent and child. I love that there is a hidden lesson to be learned from this story and it is one that I discuss with the children after every time I read it, and that is that it does not matter what you look like, people should like you for who you are.

I believe that every little girl, teenager, and women should read this book over and over again.

My FAVOURITE Robert Munsch book!

4 years ago

An empowering tale! Finally a book where the hero is a girl! And an independent one at that. Princess Elizabeth doesn't need an unappreciative prince in her life...if only older "girls" see the simple logic of Elizabeth. A must-read not only for little girls, but little boys as well.

Robert Munsch creates a wonderful story using the usual characters you would see in any old fairy tale.Then he uses his brand of humour to twist things into a brilliantly funny story with an unexpected ending. Great for all children. + read more
