If Princess Sue’s eye-rolling at “sit pretty” pageantry and her dragon-powered exit made you grin, you’ll love the ridiculous giggles in The Princess and the Pony. Princess Pinecone wants a mighty warhorse but gets a squishy, flatulent pony instead—and her attempts to prove herself spiral into wonderfully silly chaos. It’s the same wry, kid-perfect humor that turns expectations upside down, just like Sue ditching frills for freedom.

You cheered when Princess Sue teamed up with a dragon and chose adventure over a prince’s rules. In The Princess in Black, Princess Magnolia sneaks out of her prim, pink life to don a mask and kick monster butt. Like Sue, Magnolia refuses to be boxed in—she fights trolls, saves goats, and shows that crowns and courage absolutely go together.

If you loved how Princess Sue said “no thanks” to being locked in a castle and rode off with a dragon to make her own story, The Paper Bag Princess will hit the same sweet spot. Princess Elizabeth outsmarts a dragon to rescue Prince Ronald—then drops him when he values outfits over bravery. It’s that same triumphant, rule-rewriting punch that made Sue’s ending so satisfying.

Princess Sue’s dragon ally and freewheeling adventure spirit pair perfectly with the warm, magical romp of Room on the Broom. A kindly witch and her growing crew zip through the sky, face down a hungry dragon, and save the day with wit and teamwork. It’s light, funny magic that keeps the stakes friendly—just the kind of whimsical energy that powered Sue’s skyward escape.

If the punchy rhymes and crisp pacing of The Worst Princess made it a joy to read aloud, Zog delivers that same rhythm and charm. Zog is a clumsy dragon learning his skills, and Princess Pearl steps in with smarts and kindness—ultimately choosing to be a doctor rather than a “proper” princess. You’ll get the bouncy verses, bright art, and another brave princess who charts her own path—just like Sue.
