If you’re a long time reader, you know that I am not into the princess mentality.
I don’t call Grace a princess (because, frankly, she isn’t – neither Joe nor myself is part of any royal lineage), and I don’t allow clothing with princess written on it.
When she asked for Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty dress-up stuff for her third birthday, I acquiesced. Our home was quickly inundated by princess garb, princess dolls, and princess books.
Grace loves her princess friends, and they’ve grown on me, too.
I have even found a few princess stories that I like.
Don’t tell anybody, okay?
My Favorite Princess Books
The Paper Bag Princess
I have read The Paper Bag Princess to Grace so many times that she can “read” it back to me. I love that!
Not All Princesses Dress in Pink
And come on. Doesn’t everybody wear a sparkly crown now and then?
Princess Grace
Princess Smartypants
Princess Smartypants doesn’t want to get married; she wants to live with her pets. Sound familiar?
I am Princess Smartypants!
Except I found a fella that I liked.
But still, I’m Princess Smartypants at heart.
What are your favorite princess books?

The Paper Bag Princess is such a great book! I don’t mind the princess stuff that’s like that — rescuing the prince and the like.
It’s not a picture book, but one of my favorite princess stories every is The Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. And Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine is my all-time favorite… I think it could fit in the princess category, too.
We have several princess books around here. But I think the most out of the box ones are:
Do Princesses really kiss frogs?
and
Do Princesses really scrape their knees
by Carmela LaVigna Coyle
I know she has a few others in the series as well.
Tara, thank you! These are great suggestions. My daughter loves princesses, too – but she also loves using her doctor kit to work on our “broken” kitchen table. So she’s not too far gone in the world of girly-girly.
We got her a set of Gigi, God’s Little Princess books for Christmas. Honestly, I don’t love them as much as I’d hoped. But they do emphasize that all little girls are special, not just Gigi. I also really like the two Fancy Nancy books we have.
I’ve never read Gigi, but the Vanderbilt Wife just raved about them. What didn’t you like about them?
We adore Fancy Nancy around here. She rocks.
