I have a daughter. A dress wearing, pink loving, cover everything in glitter, girlie girl whose ambition she when she grows up is to be a princess. As a former tree climbing, den-building , tomboy (with the scars to prove it), I have to admit that at times her choices in bedtime literature are a little trying. Princesses, colourful fairies, ballet dancers and kittens have featured in all of her recent selections. So when I first laid eyes on The Worst Prince...more

Apesar da dupla Sara Ogilvie e Anna Kemp já ter alguns livros infantis editados pela Civilização Editora este foi o primeiro que tive o prazer de ler. Como os leitores se devem lembrar da minha crítica ao livro A Princesa Espertalhona, gosto bastante de contos de fadas e gosto de me surpreender e Uma Princesa do Pior acabou por se revelar o melhor de dois mundos.

The Paperbag Princess for my son's generation.
Princess Sue wears hi-top sneakers with her fancy gown, twirls a yoyo and dreams of one day having adventures, when her prince finally rescues her from this tower... of course, the prince wants to install her in HIS tower, doing more of the same! So Sue invites a dragon to take tea with her, and the two fly off to have fun together, vanquishing sexist, boring princes and drinking tea as they do it.

A excellent updated fairy tale for older storytimers. This converse-wearing strong-willed young princess wants excitement and adventure and is disappointed by the role the prince expects her to play. To combat her boredom she hatches a plot with the winsome dragon and proves once and for all that she is the worst princess (and so what)! The rhyming text is amusing and full of little asides designed to make your audience snigger!

A fine example of girl power and self confidence that young girls (and mum's!) can relate to.
Instead of letting the Prince choose how Princess Sue "should" be, she takes off and makes a friend of a dragon at the same time.
Loved the rhymes to!

Absolutely delightful! The paper Bag Princess in high tops and as a dragon rider. Rhyming, hilarious text and the best of messages - girl power!
