    I think that the central message of this book is that you do not have to let the way others treat you change who you are. Even though Cinderella’s step family did not treat her good, she still found it in her heart to let them move to the castle, “Generous and forgiving, Cinderella moved her family into the palace and found a lord of court for each of her step sisters to marry.” I liked this book for many reasons. I really liked the illustrations in the book, and the way that Cinderella was perceived. In this retelling of the story, Cinderella was not the most beautiful girl on the outside. She did not portray the princess norm by beauty but her inner beauty was evident. I also really liked how well the stepsisters were developed. The word choice and pictures really emphasized their ugly personality, and showed you who they truly were. For example, “Would you like to go to the ball?” They said, teasing her cruelly. “Oh, yes!” said Cinderella. “Don’t be ridiculous!” cried the stepsisters.

    Faithful, yet humorous, retelling of the traditional story with James Marshall's illustrations adding to the humor.

    This book is appropriate for students K-2nd grade. This book tells the classic story of Cinderella, the step-sister, who is treating like a servant by her step mother and two step sisters. Eventually the prince finds Cinderella, and they live "happily ever after". * Students can act out this book* Students can discuss the pictures and draw their own* Students can write what might happen next to Cinderella

    Subject Area: Language ArtsGenre: FairytaleCritique/Summary: Karlin retells the classic story of Cinderella. Cinderella is an example of a fairytale because it involves magical creatures (fairy godmother), an unlikely plot (rags to riches), and an idealistic heroine and hero. Karlin sticks to the traditional European version of this fairytale, while Marshall's drawings add a comedic twist. (Stars for theme)Age: Primary
