Cinderella by: Barbara McClintock
Fairy Tale
This book was mostly like the other Cinderella books, with the exceptions of some parts. I really like the illustration in the book, because the illustration went along with the text; and with children’s books that is an important part of the book, because you do not want the text and illustration to contradict each other. The illustrations where very colorful and the pictures gave all of the characters distinct features. The story was about a little girl name Cinderella who was having a wonderful life until her mother died and her father remarried another woman. Her stepmother started off being really nice, and then she began to be very mean to Cinderella. Her stepmother had three daughters and all four of them would not treat Cinderella like a human. Cinderella was never allowed to go anywhere or do anything because they made her clean up all the time. One day Cinderella went to the ball, without her stepmother or sisters knowing about it. She had to leave the ball before 12am, because all of her clothes would turn back into the dirty rags that she wore before her fairy godmother changed them. The Prince fell in love with Cinderella; however, Cinderella ran off at 12am and lost one slipper. All the girls in the town were fitted for the shoe because the Prince was going to marry the girl who could fit the glass slipper. Cinderella could fit the shoe, so she and the Prince got married. The part in the story that always makes me laugh is when Cinderella gets fitted for the slipper and she can wear it. After that happen her stepsisters are shocked, and then they start being nice to her, because before they were really mean to her and they just used her to cook and clean for them. You can use this in the classroom when you are teaching students about morals and values. Students can learn from this book, teach others how you would like to be treated.
