Cinderella Stories Around the World by Cari Meister
Think there's just one fairy tale with an overworked girl and wicked stepsisters? Think again! Cultures all around the world have their own Cinderella stories. Visit Canada, China, Egypt and France, and find out whose glass slippers are made of red silk, and whose fairy godmother is a fish.
STARRED REVIEW! A falcon swoops down and steals a ruby slipper from the banks of the Nile; a beautiful young girl lies in a coffin hanging from a treeSound familiar? Probably not, and, that’s the fun of these volumes, each presenting multicultural variations of stories we all know. . . .Illustrations capture beautifully the particular cultural ambience of each tale. . . .My second grade team has already deemed these books an indispensable addition for a curriculum that asks students to study folktale variations. Highly Recommended. * School Library Connection *
