Cendrillon


Title:  Cendrillon

Author: Robert D. San Souci

Illustrator:  Brian Pickney
ISBN:  9780689806681


Summary:   A new twist from a much loved story.  The Fairy Godmother isn't someone that just appears.  She is always there and much involved in her life.  The poor child has always seemed happy until she falls in love and realizes that things may never be what she wants and her happiness turns to sadness that many see.  Does is end the same?  You'll have to read to find out. 

 

 

Rating:  This is a great twist of the classic Cinderella.  I would use this book in the class to along with other stories to show how different one story can spin into many others.
