Princess Baby on the go by Karen Katz

Toddlers and Preschoolers:
The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch
The classic tale of the princess who outsmarts a dragon to rescue a prince… only to find he wasn‘t worth rescuing after all! Great 'anti-princess‘ message to show children that looking like a princess isn‘t as important as acting like one.

Sing this song, as your little princess shows us her royal wave and serves high tea!
I‘m a Little Princess (sung to I'm a Little Teapot)
I‘m a little princess, here‘s my crown
Sometimes it‘s pink and sometimes it‘s brown.
I like to spin and spin til I fall down
I‘m as funny as a little clown!
