Harriet the Invincible

Hilarious parody of dumb fairytales with a feminist twist. This is the kind of silly story I would have written with my brother when we were kids, and it's refreshing for my extremely anti-princess sensibilities. The illustrations are perfect, adding comic style to the story in all the right places.

Probably better for 8yo+ age range - some of the humor goes over my 6yo's head, although he thoroughly enjoys these regardless. Absolutely read these to your boys. They're fun books and princess stereotypes do nothing for them either.
