Picture Book 9


Title: A Little Princess Story- I want to do it myself!

Illustrator: Tony Ross
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Subgenre: Picture book
Theme: Independence, Adventure
Primary Character: The Princess
Date of publication: 2011

Summary: This book is about a young girl who has an imagination that strives for adventure. She has a mindset that she does not need anyone’s help! She wants to go on a camping trip but she forgets all of her essentials. The items magically appear such as her tent, toothbrush, and even her dinner. It doesn’t look like she is quite ready for independence.  

I would use this story in my classroom to teach independence. I would have a discussion with my students about the ways that they could show more independence. It may be brushing their teeth without having to be asked or cleaning their room when it gets dirty.
