Review: CINDERELLA, Module 2, Picture Books

McClintock, Barbara. 2005. CINDERELLA. New York: Scholastic Press. ISBN
0439561450

This is a beautifully illustrated version of Cinderella. The illustrations provide a great deal of royal detail to see on every page. Readers will enjoy studying the intricate images. As in other versions, Cinderella is able to attend the ball and wins over the prince and as usual, claims the glass slipper and lives happily ever after. Luckily for her step family, in this cheery version, they also live happily ever after. Cinderella forgives all for their terrible behavior and even aids her step family in their future. This is a fairy tale in which all end in the best of circumstances. It is truly a happily ever after for all. This tale will demonstrate forgiveness and belief in the positive.
