The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch


Munsch, R. N., & Martchenko, M. (1980). The paper bag princess. Toronto: Annick Press.

The Paper Bag Princess is a delightful story about a princess who is squashes the typical princess stereotype. She outsmarts the dragon and shows Prince Ronald that she didn't need him after all.  Girl Power!

Assignment #1

Evaluation Criteria - Illustrations

The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch was published for the first time in 1990 but was told by him while working in a childcare center in the 1973 and 1974. The art is by Michael Martchenko. He was able to create an amazing fantasy world through his drawings and illustrations. His pictures do a fantastic job telling of this story. You can actually “see” the story unfold without even reading the words. The color is very vibrant and you get a feeling of the frustration that Elizabeth was feeling right from the start through the facial expressions of the characters in his drawings.
