Cinderella (Grimm's and Andersen's)

Summary:
Retold by Ronne Randall and illustrated by Anna C. Leplar, The Grimm Brothers’ Cinderella is a timeless tell of a young Cinderella who goes from rags to the palace. A story that begins with Cinderella’s struggle to please an unreasonable stepmother, ends with her pleasing the prince and finding her place with him as his bride.

Personal Reaction:
As I read this book for the first time to my daughters, I noticed this version of Cinderella was different from the other versions that I had read. One difference was that this version explained the how Cinderella received her name.

Extensions:
1. A teacher teaching children to count could use the point in the story where the godmother transforms the items into new magical ones to teach show more children to count. After the teacher reads the story, the teacher could re-read this section of the story, helping the children to count the different items. Props such as: a pumpkin, and slippers could be used as visuals.
2. Also, a teacher teaching language arts could explain how traditional fantasy is passed down from generation to generation and then after reading the story have the students write their own fairy tale. show less
