SuitabookLa petite princesse et les livres
Gilles Tibo
- Reading
- Read it together and pause over the illustrations, especially the humorous details. Before finishing, ask what the Princess might think about books; afterwards, compare that guess with what the story actually shows.
- Themes
- The value of books and reading: The story presents a little Princess in an adventure connected with recognising what children could not do without reading and books, while also celebrating their pleasure. The book presents this favourably.
- A capricious but appealing protagonist: The little Princess is described as capricious yet appealing, within a colourful and poetic fairy-tale-like setting. The book leaves its stance open to more than one reading.
- Worth knowing
- The Princess is described as capricious as well as attachante, so you might notice how the story treats her behaviour: is it challenged, accepted, or simply part of the humour? The book’s full treatment is not established.
