Cinderella

No one does fairy tales like James Marshall! Here, his bold and witty illustrations add life to Barbara Karlin's retelling of the well-known story of the dirty girl with the wicked stepsisters. But this isn't your average Cinderella-hearty and robust, she's a hard worker with a heart of gold. Filled with grinning rats, a wacky fairy godmother, and a whole coachful of laughs, this is the story we all know and love, seen in a refreshing new way.

"Will take its rightful place on the fairy-tale shelves, but won't sit there for long!" (Booklist, starred review)
