Princesses

Cohen, Della. Walt Disney's Cinderella: A Read-Aloud Storybook. New York: Mouse Works, 1999.

Who is your favorite princess? I like Cinderella. Although there are many, many different versions of the classic tale, I have to admit that I like Disney's rendition the best.


Here are some wonderfully illustrated children's books about princesses:
