This classic is actually perfectly suited to the young precocious reader, because although it is a picture book, the vocabulary is quite challenging.  It is a princess story, so some boys may be turned off (although my son LOVES Cinderella), but its not really that fluffy and I thought it was just right for snuggling up to go to bed.  A great read for Dads and daughters.
