Her mother died while giving birth to her which left her wealthy grandfather to neglect her out of spite. She meets an old nurse and a gooseherd that ultimately become her fairygod mother and friends and help her make it to the ball, marry her prince and live happily ever after.

Genre: Fiction/Fairytale

Grade Level: K-3

Readers who will like this book: Children who are familiar with the story of Cinderella would appreciate the little twists to their well known versions.

Personal Response: I liked this version. It was still fairly close to the more popular version of Cinderella. I would give this story a 3.

A question you would ask before reading: Who has heard of the story of Cinderella.... What happens in the version you know?
