The Barefoot Book of Princesses retold by Caitlin Matthews
illustrated by Olwyn Whelan
The Barefoot Book of Princesses is an amazing children's book. It tells the story of seven different princess stories from around the world including the Danish The Princess and the Pea, the Chinese Beggar Princess, and the German Sleeping Beauty. A book like this could bring in diversity into children's literature because children could compare and contrast these unique princess stories and the culture which they came from. By reading these different princess tales children will learn just how complex and different a princess can be. The illustrations in this book are bright, imaginative, and colorful as they bring life to the stories. I defiantly plan to bring this unique and fun book into my elementary classroom.
Intended Age 4-10
