About this deal

Discussion could also center on more child-sized roles, which they may find in games like playing house, playing with dolls and action figures, and playing sports. If the students sympathize with Elizabeth, you might expect them to answer that how you act is more important than how you look–you have to act like a prince to be a prince, and Ronald is not a prince, because he is neither brave or nice. If your class or school is having to close for a while, these materials provide a home dimension as well as a clear route map outlining what to teach online, and what to practise at home. We’d spent the morning making things (house like a bomb site as you can imagine) when she decided she wanted a princess craft of her own. To this, the paper bag princess replies (I'm paraphrasing): "Ronald, you are very handsome in your fancy clothes, and you may look like a prince, but you are a BUM!

The Paper Bag Princess - Wikipedia

If your child shows interest in the big knocker on the dragon’s door or the outdoor scenery in the book, you could say, “The setting of the story is where the story takes place. Look at a range of images of dragons in art and mythology, for example Japanese dragons, the Welsh dragon, St George and the Dragon by Kandinsky. Understanding these underlying elements will help your child make sense of the stories she hears and until this happens, your child may not completely understand what you’re reading to her. When asking this question, it is useful to point out the first and last illustrations in the book to guide a comparison of Elizabeth’s happiness.Elizabeth tricks the dragon into tiring himself out by pointlessly breathing out fire and flying around the world. The brave, clever girl who doesn't wait for someone to come rescue her but courageously solves her own problem. This re-release of the classic story has a preface by Chelsea Clinton and another by Francesca Segal, plus an endnote by Munsch's wife where we learn that it was actually her idea for Robert to finally tell a story where the princess does the rescuing. This would be a good time to ask the children to think of their own lives and the roles they fill as students, siblings, friends, etc. These types of comments will help your child understand the story on a deeper level, and, ideally, will help your child bring this understanding to other stories that she hears.

After identifying gender roles, we can challenge the value of these roles by asking “Is it okay for us to say that most nurses should be women? If Elizabeth still felt like a princess and thought of herself as a princess, would she be a princess? This book is a special part of childhood history for many people, so it was nice to see it wasn't just me who was obsessed with this book!

Not only does her happiness work to justify her non-conformist act of leaving Ronald, the story is bookended by two illustrations of a happy Elizabeth.
