This is a great example of tweeking an old fairytale for today's kids to enjoy. I heard this book read aloud at a literary contest for elementary students and was impressed with the content and readibility. The students in the audience laughed out loud during the reading.

My five year old daughter has asked us to read this book to her every day for the last 3 days. It's a great modern version of the old classic with a more with-it cinderella and Prince Charming, done in rhyming verses. The characters are multi-cultural too. My favorite thing about this book as a parent is that it is fun to read out loud, so I don't mind reading it numerous times.

This is a wonderful up-to-date, inter-city version of the classic Cinderella. It is written in poetry-style, in a humorous way. The illustrations are done in a rough childlike way. It is very funny and a really fresh view of the classic.

This modern version of Cinderella is fascinating. Children will enjoy reading a familiar tale in a modern setting. The story in poetry form with the wonderful illustrations will keep children reading it over and over again.

This worst story ever. Don't waste your money. Check out Prince Cinder instead. It sure to have you and your kids cracking up!!

Cinder-elly is a Cinderella version set in modern-day NYC. It's rhyming format and changed Cinderella elements really keep children interested. The ball is a basketball game, the prince is a basketball player, and Cinder-elly is not as helpless as the original. It is very entertaining.

This extremely 90s version is a bit dated, but I found it hilarious even if my kids didn't get the cultural nods. Bright colors and hilarious mini-characters.
