This was a take on the classic story of Cinderella told from the step mothers point of view. This perspective basically viewed Cinderella as an over talkative weirdo. She talked to animals which obviously can't happen in real life so she seemed crazy. When I was reading it I felt like a lot of kids that don't normally enjoy the cliche that these fairy tales often have would like this. I remember being a kid I always loved the classics but it did get boring because I knew that in every story and disney movie that it would somehow have a happy ending so I never even had to wonder and I knew the main character would always be okay. I liked that but sometimes I did want something that was a little more real because not everything works out all the time and that is okay and its good to know that it happens to everyone. This book had a "think about it" section at the end where it encouraged the readers to compare this version to the original which I thought was cool and a good activity in school. ( )

Hilarious! Kids enjoy this different point of view. Great springboard for talking about fairy tales and point of view. ( )

This classic fairy tale is told from the step mothers point of view. The step mother describes how she finds Cinderella to be weird and annoying. She says how Cinderella always talks to animals and how they help her out. Throughout the story, from the step mothers point of view, Cinderella is a strange girl who always has a silly story to tell. This story can be used to compare and contrast the original story to this fractured fairy tale. ( )
