A fresh retelling of Cinderella, perfect for girls who are ready for something hipper than a picture book, is now out in paperback!

I know, I know. You've heard the story a million times before. Mean stepmother. Lots

of sweeping. Fancy ball. You remember. Or do you? Did you remember that Cinderella

was such a nice girl-so smart and funny? You probably would've liked her. Did you

know that ""Cinderella"" was just a nickname? And that her handsome prince loved Jell-o

and was a wonderful dancer?

Readers will delight in following Cinderella through

all the usual happenings, presented in a most unusual way. And they'll finally see

what becomes of her after she marries the prince. So maybe you should hear the story

one last time. Because it's actually way different than you might have thought. .

. .

Kids who have outgrown picture books and are ready for something longer-but

still love illustrated texts-will gravitate toward this Cinderella, which was an IRA-CBC Children's Choice selection. Black-and-white

silhouettes of everything from the ugly stepsisters to Cinderella's slipper (actual

size) are intermingled with Cinderella's letters to her recently deceased mother

in this totally original package. And don't miss the companion book to this fairy-tale reboot- Thumbelina, Tiny Runaway Bride.
