Purchase options and add-ons

An instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, and the inspiration for the Netflix series Princess Power, Princesses Wear Pants is an empowering fairy-tale picture book from NBC’s TODAY coanchor Savannah Guthrie, educator Allison Oppenheim, and illustrator Eva Byrne.

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 kingdom’s 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. Penelope’s courage (and style choices) result in her saving the day!

In their debut children’s 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 Nickelodeon’s
Nella the Princess Knight, Princesses Wear Pants challenges gender stereotypes in the name of individuality, showing girls it’s not how they look but what they do that matters.

Perfect book for any little girl in your life
I preordered this book back in February because I loved the way Savannah Guthrie talked about the book and the concept behind it. Girls are more than just pretty dresses and sparkles. It is a lovely book, with wonderful illustrations. My favorite line in the book reads: She loved to sparkle, loved ruffles, too. "But I wear pants," she said " 'cause I've got things to do!" Just buy the book, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Savannah for a great story!

    The authors, Savannah Guthrie and Allison Oppenheim, have written a fun book for children with good lessons learned. Princess Penelope Pineapple lived with her brother Prince Philippe, their royal cat, Miss Fussywiggles, in a lovely castle. They were the children of the king and queen. Princess Penelope had lovely pink cheeks and beautiful brown eyes and swinging ponytails. However, what was more beautiful than the ponytails was her closet full of dazzling dresses and beauteous tiaras. But, Princess Penelope was an adventurous girl, and she liked to wear pants while partaking of all of her activities. She had many things to do. When you read this book you will discover how fortunate it was that Princess Penelope wore pants.

    Adults will enjoy reading this book to their children.The children will be able to identify with Princess Penelope in her understanding of why and when it is necessary to wear pants. They will be able to give many accounts of when this could be true. The illustrations by Eva Byrne, are bright, colorful, and dazzling. They depict the adventures of Princess Penelope, her family, friends and Miss Fussywiggles. The book is written in rhyme, and that is one of the best ways for children to hear a story. The lessons learned are also an important part of this story. What fun a Princess who knows what she wants!

    I read this book with my 5 year old granddaughter, and we both enjoyed the story and the illustrations. My granddaughter liked the fact that the older woman was able to change her mind when she was shown how helpful pants are.

    We love books that rhyme! This book keeps kids engaged and has a good message, encouraging girls to be confident and do all kinds of things without telling them that they can’t also be princesses and wear dresses which many little girls don’t want to hear. Whether or not you are interested in the message any kid can enjoy the story and the rhymes, if you are interested in the message it is an added bonus!

    I love Savannah Guthrie, and she has hit a home run with this book. Princess Penelope has become a staple in our home, especially since the tv show has come out. We read this book constantly, and its message is just wonderful for little girls everywhere.

    My daughter was in this phase where she refused to wear pants. I know, I know, just make her wear them. I did at times, but not without a tantrum that would ruin all of our mornings and it just wasn't worth it sometimes. This is literally the only time my daughter would throw a tantrum about anything! I kid you not, after reading through this story ONE time, and talking about how its okay to love dresses but sometimes a girl has just got to wear pants to get things done, and she now will wear them. We even had fun going through her pants collection that hadn't been looked at in quite some time. THANK YOU FOR THIS FUN STORY! - from a tired mama

    This is such a pretty book with a cute story. I loved the illustrations. My 5 year old grand daughter likes to play dress up in her princess dresses. She is learning to read. As we read it I showed her how every book needs an author, an illustrator, and a publisher before it comes to her! The author, Savannah Guthrie, is one of my favorite NBC Today Show hosts.

    Adorable book. This was given to my daughter from a friend and it's so cute! I ended up getting the second book princesses save the world which is evenly cute. Rhymes a little with a cute story/message. Colorful illustration as well.
