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.
Elizabeth who is the princess in the story goes out of her way to
save her prince and when she goes through all the trouble of being
faced with a dragon and finally finds the prince he tells her to
come back when she looks like a real princess. She decides that he
wasn't worth all that trouble and says "Ronald," said Elizabeth,
"your clothes are really pretty and your hair is very neat. You
look like a real prince, but you are a bum."
He should have been grateful for all she had done for him. I
recommend any Robert Munsch story they are always full of life and
so fun to read. If you have not read this story yet, pick one up
soon!
