This is for all those children's book experts ;)

I have a patron who is looking for a book about a
little girl named Jane who wants to grow up to be a
knight. All the people in the court tell her she can't
except for the jester who tells her to try. Jane does
try, vanquishes the dragon and saves the prince.

Sound familar?

Thanks for all help,

Could this be the Paperbag Princess? It's also a video.

I think this could be the Alanna series by
Tamora Pierce. The series title is Song of the lioness and the first
book is Alanna:the first adventure. Alanna wants to study to be
a page and then a knight. She switches with her brother and begins
her training when everyone thinks she is a boy. She is discovered but
allowed to finish the training. She does save the prince who is her
friend and in training with her. All four books are wonderful.

Sounds vaguely like The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch, except I
don't know about the Jane, and no one tells her she can't...she just
does. Cathy R. Hazel Park Library

Kaite--
Could it be Knight's Castle, the second title in the Half Magic series
by Edward Eager? As I recall, Jane gets mightly pissed off when she
finds out she has to be a princess, and decides to become a knight on
her own, when it's her turn to wish.

It's actually Jane and the Dragon by Martin Baynton, published by
JSainsburys plc in England. Not as good as paper bag princess but still a
good role model for children.
