"There is perhaps no better loved, no more universal story than Cinderella. Almost every country in the world has a version of it, but the favorite of story-tellers is the French version by Charles Perrault. This translation is excellent for story-telling and also for reading aloud. Marcia Brown's illustrations are full of magic and enchantment from the little cupids putting back the hands of the clock to the last scene at the palace. They are pictures that will stay in a child's mind"
"In Charles Perralult's version of Cinderella, the author tells an Italian version of this classic. The pictures, however, are set in 1920s London. The story-line is very similar to the American version. Cinderella has to move in with her father's new wife and daughters who treat her as a servant. Cinderella does not tell her father how they treat her because she thinks that he would believe his new wife over her. When the King's son gave a ball both of the stepsisters made Cinderella help them get ready. After they left her godmother, who was also a fairy, used her magic and got Cinderella ready for the ball. Her only stipulation was that she had to leave before midnight. She followed orders the first night, but then the king's son called for a ball the next night to find the beautiful woman who left early. At the second ball Cinderella was having so much fun that she forgot to leave before midnight, and she lost a glass slipper as she ran off. The King's son proclaimed he would marry the the girl whose foot the slipper fit, and sent his henchmen out to find her. One of them noticed that Cinderella was pretty even though she was poorly dressed and they tried it on her foot. When it fit she pulled out the match. Her godmother immediately used her magic wand and dressed her beautifully. Her stepsisters begged for forgiveness, and Cinderella accepted their apologies. She even brought them to live in the castle, and set them up with two great lords of the court.
This version was very much similar to most of the other editions that I studied. The one difference that I enjoyed was the setting and the pictures. This takes place during the 1920s in London, so the characters are dressed to reflect the time and place. The dresses, the cars, and the castle pictures are beautifully painted, and full of rich detail."
"This is the classic Cinderella story that begins when Cinderella's mother dies and her father remarries. Cinderella gets a new stepmother and two stepsisters that keep her busy with chores and treat her very poorly. When the stepsisters head to the prince's ball, Cinderella is very sad. She is surprised when her fairy godmother appears and turns four mice into white horses! Her fairy godmother prepares everything for Cinderlla to attend the ball, and tells her only to be back before the clock strikes twelve.
Cinderella had a wonderful time at the ball, and even met the prince! She left before the clock struck twelve, and the prince was left wondering who this special girl was. He arranged for another ball, and Cinderella's godmother used her magic to help her get ready again. And again, she reminded Cinderella to be home before twelve. Cinderella enjoyed herself very much, but had to run when she realized it was almost twelve. In her haste, she dropped one of her beautiful glass slippers. The prince found the glass slipper and was determined to find the girl it belonged to, so he could make her his bride.
This version of Cinderella has very rich vocabulary. Because it is a familiar story, the students will be able to comprehend the story without getting hung up on the difficult words. This provides opportunities for vocabulary enrichment with words like "jeered", "wretched", "flaunted", and "splendid". I did not care for the illustrations."
"This is one of my favorite Cinderella books. It is a classic Cinderella story. Both the pictures and the text are beautiful. The detailed illustrations are reminiscent of folk art."
