This kid's book, by Robert Munch is very nicely illustrated. Recently, when I was reading it, I realized that it has a message to it of a sort of indepentant woman or feminist feel. Basically, a dragon kidnapps a prince, and the princess in nothing but a paperbag saves him by tiring out the egotistical dragon. Then when she gets the prince, he's upset she isn't in a pretty dress with nice hair, and they end up not getting married.
This was just a revelation that I had. Thought it was neat. Cause I can't recal many kids books with feminist messages as a kid...
Is there any one who can remember a popular one that i failed to have noticed?
p.s merry holiday season
