Raegan Young's Reviews > Cinderella

Cinderella lost her mother and a year later her dad married a new wife, who had her daughters. The two-step sisters were very mean to Cinderella, pushing her to do the dirty works and clean the house. They also took away all her pretty clothes. From this time on the Cinderella started to suffer hardships. One day, the king issued an order to hold a dance party so as to elect a wife. The immortal peduncle begged her stepmother to let her go, but did not get a permission from her stepmother. So, she cried sadly. Suddenly, a fairy lady appeared in front of her and helped the poor girl change an extremely attractive skirt and a pair of glasses shoes. Cinderella happily went to the dance party. Finally, she won king’s heart and led a happy life with the king in a castle. The genre and format of this book is a picture book. the reading level for this book is middle level elementary students. this book can be used in a unit about being treated fairly of treating others how you want to be treated. it is more of a fun book not a lesson for a classroom. the theme of this book is a fairy tale. i think girls will enjoy this book more but any race and socioeconomic status would enjoy it.
