The Paper Bag Princess was first told at the Bay Area Childcare Center in Coos Bay Oregon where I had a job in 1973 and 1974. Read some other alternative traditional tales such a The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig by Eugene Trivizas and Helen Oxenbury or Revolting Rhymes by Roald Dahl. I love that the Princess is the hero (and this is 40 years old, so Princesses weren't always kicking butt and taking names like they do today) and that she's wicked smart. Now, I know this is a fantasy, but still - obviously this was written during the women's lib age, but pre the "go green" age ;-) Either way though, it seemed a little selfish of the princess.As I got older, I lost that ability to recite this book without hesitation, but the memories are still there.
