Cinderella

Product Information

Instead of going to a ball, Elly goes to a basketball game. Instead of riding a coach, she rides on a bike (with glass sneakers). In the end, Elly goes on a date with Prince Charming, the star basketball player. This is an absolutely stunning picture book about two sisters who live with their father in Africa. One is kind and generous; the other is vain and cruel. When the young king searches for a wife, the sisters react in different ways. The king recognizes their true natures and chooses Nyasha, the kind and generous daughter, to be his queen. The ending was a bit weird to me, but I love the clever rhyming text, the integrated math concepts, and the delightful illustrations.

Cinderella Boys: The Forgotten RAF Force that Won the Battle Cinderella Boys: The Forgotten RAF Force that Won the Battle

Cinderella tells so many stories that she loses her voice – so of course her stepmother must keep her home from the ball.This is another Wild West version of the familiar story. Instead of going to a ball, Cindy Ellen goes to a rodeo, where she wins every event (and Joe, the rich rancher’s son, is so enchanted, he doesn’t even mind losing). When Cindy Ellen and Joe meet again at a square dance, Cindy leaves one of her diamond spurs behind. Of course Joe won’t rest until he founds its owner.

Cinderella - Read it yourself with Ladybird: Level 1

Their fairy godmother gets both girls ready for the ball, and when they arrive, the prince is entranced by both Cin and Tin. Thankfully, the fairy godmother makes a twin for the prince, and the girls have a double wedding. A shy Prince Cinders runs away – leaving his trousers behind him. When the skinny Prince Cinders is the only man who fits the trousers, Princess Lovelypenny proposes immediately. This Algonquin American Indian folktale is the soulful cousin of the European versions. It features a girl maimed by cooking fires and ridiculed by her unblemished, beautiful sisters. The tale ends with the changing fortunes of the poor girl, namely in marriage, but the way she earns the reversal of fortune is very original. The Egyptian Cinderella by Shirley Climo (Author) and Ruth Heller (Illustrator)

I really didn’t care for this modern New York City version, but my Three and Five requested it often. Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox. By signing up you agree to our terms of use The Persian Cinderella by Shirley Climo (Author) and Robert Florczak (Illustrator) As it turns out, no one else’s foot is big enough to fit Rrrrella’s left-behind wooden clog, and the prince and his bride live happily ever after. This is just an all-around great version that kids will love (as did my youngest three kids, ages 3, 5, and 7). Instead of the heroine being tiny and beautiful, Rrrrella is a big, smelly Bigfoot. She wins the prince’s heart when she’s the only Bigfoot strong enough to spin his log and dump him into the water. When she runs away, the prince is heartbroken. “Where my stinking beauty go?”

Cinderella - Read Aloud Picture Book | Brightly Storytime

Though many women try to prove otherwise, only the Rough-Face girl has seen The Invisible Being. And when she finally meets him face to face, he looks past her scars and sees the beauty inside her.True to the culture of the time, Maha marries Tariq without ever having met him (his mother decides whom he will marry). Overall I found the story quite strange, and this wasn’t my favorite. But you may feel differently. When Duke Dudley hosts a party at the disco, Dinorella arrives and rescues the Duke from a deinonychus. The dinosaur sees only her glowing eyes and thinks she’s a demon. “A devil! See its dreadful demon eyes!” This is one of those stunningly beautiful picture books that you just haveto read. This version (from Algonquin Indian folklore) tells the story of a girl whose face and arms are scarred by the fire her stepsisters force her to tend. The pictures in this book are a little weird (dogs dressed in old European clothing, complete with wigs, and walking on two feet). But my daughter enjoyed the humor in the illustrations, and the story is well-told without being too wordy.

This is a fantastic book for teaching point of view. When you read one side of the book, you read the familiar tale. Flip it upside down and start from the other side, and you have a completely different story! In the Untold Story, Cinderella is a pretty but excessively imaginative girl who lives with her kind father, stepmother and stepsisters. In the end, she marries the prince’s cousin, who also likes to tell stories that aren’t true. I grew up watching Disney’s Cinderella on repeat. I’m sure I’ve seen it so many times it’s created permanent neural pathways in my brain and deep inroads into my psyche. Little did I know about all the other Cinderella stories around the world. Who knew there was more than Disney’s version? Well, maybe smart people knew it was based on Charles Perrault’s telling in 1697. But did you know he was just regurgitating a story that has been told around the world for eons? All the young women want to marry The Invisible Being, because he is rich, powerful, and (supposedly) handsome. To marry him, a woman must prove that she has seen his face. This version features Settareh, a beautiful young woman who catches the attention of the prince at the No Ruz festival. The story is well told, and illustrations are so beautiful that they almost look like photographs. The tale itself is very different from other versions; Settareh uses magic from a tiny glass bottle, and when her stepsisters get their hands on it they turn her into a turtledove. Older listeners will catch the humor better than preschoolers, and this book would be excellent for a study on point of view.This was by far my least favorite version. Normally I like Edwards’ alliterative stories (where many words begin with the same letter), but this letter d-themed book fell short. My three-year-old asked me to read him this silly version many times. Prince Cinders is a “small, spotty, scruffy, and skinny” prince with three big hair brothers. Cinderella marries the handsome, proud, and vain Prince Randolph. Cinder Edna marries his plain, clever, and kind brother Rupert. Can you guess who lives happily ever after?
