Princesses Wear Pants
Princesses Wear Pants | Savannah Guthrie, Allison Oppenheim
3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
From NBCs TODAY coanchor Savannah Guthrie and educator Allison Oppenheim comes an empowering fairy tale with a twist. In the tradition of Not All Princesses Dress in Pink and Princess in Black, Princesses Wear Pants follows the unflappable Princess Penelope Pineapple, who knows how to get the job done while staying true to herself. Princess Penelope lives in a beautiful palace with a closet full of beautiful dresses. But being a princess is much, much more than beauty. In fact, every morning Princess Penelope runs right past her frilly dresses to choose from her beloved collection of pants! What she wears each day depends on which job she has to do. Will she command the royal air force sporting her sequined flight suit? Will she find her zen in her yoga pants and favorite tee? Or, will she work in the kingdoms vegetable garden with pocketed overalls for all of her tools? Unfortunately for Princess Penelope, not everyone in the Pineapple Kingdom thinks pants are always appropriate princess attire. When the grand Lady Busyboots demands that Princess Penelope must wear a gown to the annual Pineapple Ball, the young royal finds a clever way to express herself. Penelopes courage (and style choices) result in her saving the day! In their debut childrens picture book, Savannah Guthrie and Allison Oppenheim team up for a savvy and imaginative story that celebrates fashion and girl power. Perfect for fans of Nickelodeons Nella the Princess Knight, Princesses Wear Pants challenges gender stereotypes in the name of individuality, showing girls its not how they look but what they do that matters.

3.5⭐This says that you may be a princess but to get stuff done, you need to wear pants. That sometimes skirts get in the way and that the job is more important than the fashion. The book rhymes decently. However, the cadence has many places where it switches and or faults. Do I think this is the best book that will be talked about for 20 years? Most likely not. But was it a good effort

Meh. Kind of cute, and I get what she was trying to say, but the messages are kind of mixed and the rhyming is a little clunky. Illustrations are cute, though.

Nice read aloud. The rhyming text is fun, as are all the situations the princess is in wearing pants. The illustrations are s feast for your eyes; I loved seeing what the cat was up to on each page! #kidlit #picturebooks #kidlitsy
