favorite feministy/anti princessy books

[eratmama]

We are going to a friend's daughters third birthday party tomorrow. Well, L and the kids are. Me and my pneumonia will stay home. Its a pinkalicious party and she is into all things princessy, much to the chagrin of her two moms.

I will hopefully have an hour tonight to run to the bookstore. Or, call ahead and put a few on hold that L can run in and grab.

I am thinking of
Cinder Edna
Paper Bag Princess

What are some of your other faves/ recommendations? Bonus points for titles likely to be in the store.

Brave
Grace for President

When I saw this post, the first thing I thought was Paper Bag Princess

I have come across a couple others that have nice messages of girls in non-traditional-girl-roles - like a detective, a firefighter, an astronaut, etc. Hen really likes both of these:

Just What Mama Needs - Sharlee Mullins Glenn
Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do - Kathryn Heling

How awful is it that I have never heard of *any* of these books?
