This is a fairytale because it is a retelling of a cinderella story which describes magical and imaginary settings such as when the fairy god mother comes and helps her change into a beautiful girl for the prince before midnight strikes. I could use this book to discuss how many fairytales often have retellings of classic stories such as this and that some countries retell it to their cultural setting. Another way I could use this book is to discuss the importance of being happy and ask my class what makes them happy. The media in this book is mixed media and graphic pictures. ( )
