She's even memorized the words to the first page and many lines from the rest of the book. The illustrations are absolutely, uniquely beautiful. We discover new things in the paintings every time we read this. And my daughter's learning new words and pronunciation of more difficult words (like "crinkly"). The story line is equally beautiful -- not your typical fairy tale princess, or something that was created, fragile, delicate, weak yet confident. I'm ordering other books by Elisa Kleven! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure magic and devoid of annoying princess fluff *by Q***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2013* I was searching for a non-princessy princess book for my 3 year old duaghter and came across this one. What a find! The story is touching and sweet. There is none of the materialistic superficial fluff of other princess books. None. Just sweetness. The art is what childhood memories are made of and the story is pure magic. I can't say enough good things about it. My daughter abslolutely loves it. As another reviewer reported, it has sparked a few paper princess making sessions of our own. I think it would make a great gift especially if packaged with a packet of cardstock, scissors, colored pencils, glue, and an assortment of materials for hair.If you're like me (a dad with a princessy girly girl but who gets kind of annoyed with the superficial message of princess culture) then rest assured that this isn't one of *those* books. She's really only a princess in name. No kingdom, no castle, no prince, no exquisite gowns, no ballroom dances,etc. And she's determined, brave, kind, and undaunted. Now THAT'S a princess I can get behind. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Adventures within... *by A***0 on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2008* I am a huge fan of Elisa Kleven's work, which is always unique, colorful, thought-provoking, and uplifting. Her stories and her illustrations bring wonder and beauty into a child's reading / listening experiences. The pages are full of ideas. When readers / listeners look into the images, they are transported to a magical storybook world that knows no limitations, no boundaries. Though still, the vibrant images convey a real sense of movement, of energy, of life.The Paper Princess offers all of these things and so much more. Starry socks and watermelon shoes---what's not to love about this quirky little paper character who, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, wants to find home. :) I like how the Princess begins her journey "unfinished" because that is a very real human aspect. We are often "unfinished" / "incomplete" when we begin our most important (difficult) life journeys, and through those journeys, we are forever changed, marked, sometimes "crumpled," re-arranged, growing into new versions of ourselves. When we return home, our blank page / side has been filled with new messages, thoughts, sketches, hopes, dreams, understandings.So, with a bald head and a blank back, the Paper Princess is whisked away on an adventure that takes her through many detailed scenes like a meadow, a carnival, a town, a playground, etc. I like how Kleven would show the paper doll's simple blank outline (or portions of it) on some of the most colorful pages; this technique allows children the ability to find her among all the image elements.Teachers and home-schooling parents can use this book to illustrate values such as acceptance, friendship, courage, compassion, confidence, perseverance, hope, love, sharing, and caring. A good conversation / discussion point would be the scene where a little girl throws the Princess away after she had marked her poorly. [Some people in our disposable society are all too quick and willing to get rid of things that displease them, that contain mistakes and flaws, or that seem "ugly" or tarnished. ]This is a fantastic book, in my opinion. I feel like I received my money's worth for the joy it has brought into our house. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/24959681-the-paper-princess-picture-puffins](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/24959681-the-paper-princess-picture-puffins) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
