BB尤其喜欢这个故事
I love this story and read it as a child. I ordered it for Christmas for my girls and was so disappointed when it arrived. It is not a regular sized book like I had as a girl, but a tiny book that is the size of my palm. Looking over the description, I can see that if you click the "read more" link at the bottom, it does say that this is a mini book, but I really think it should be stated clearly in the page title.
These books are so tiny it's beyond words. Look at the measurements before ordering. I'm posting a photo so you can see what it looks like next to a standard pen! Back they go.
It's my own fault for not reading the description of this book completely. I expected this to be a full-size book and it is definitely not. I also wish I would have read some of the reviews because they do explain and show accurately how small this book is. I bought it to give as a gift for Christmas but ended up giving it to my daughter instead because I would be embarrassed to give this as a present. It is a cute book and my daughter does love it, so I am glad that I bought it because it's only a couple of dollars.
I got this for my baby shower by a family friend. It turned out to be my favorite book to read to my daughter. Since then I've gotten it for my sister's-in-law too who also have daughters.
I love this book because the moral of the story is that "not all princesses need to be saved" (I wrote this on the inside cover of the book and mailed it to them for Christmas). So often in storybooks the female is depicted as a Dame who needs saving. In this book, the princess sets a different tone.
The story starts out with a princess who is to marry a prince, but the Prince is stolen from the castle by a fire breathing dragon (who also burned down their castle and her clothes). She sets off to find the Prince wearing the only thing she could find, a paper bag. The clever princess finds the dragon and tricks him using her wit. She saves the Prince who is so full of himself that he tells her to come back when she is dressed like a princess. In the end the princess tells him that "he may look like a prince, but he acts like a bum". She then lives happily ever after without the vain and selfish Prince.
In my opinion, this book teaches young boys to be compassionate and not arrogant or shallow. It teaches young girls that being strong and independent can make you happy.
In a time when we need strong women as well as men more than ever. There are books like this that can help shape who they are apart from the cliché friendship and sharing books.
This is ultimately about the battlefield of relationships and how they don't always work out. Even when you try your hardest. But it is when it doesnt work out that you need to understand the complexity of inner strength. Where inner peace and happiness draws from. If we can create a strong influence of self awareness and self assurance in our children early on through books. Imagine how our children will make an impact in our world.
I would recommend this book to anyone with young children. Even boys.
