What a beautiful storybook version of a Disney Classic! This book tells the Disney Cinderella story, and includes all the story elements and characters from the movie. Each page has the gorgeous artwork from the film, along with a short paragraph.

Other Disney versions we've read don't include Jaq and Gus, which is NOT acceptable to my 3 year old daughter. This book is one of the longer stories we read (it takes me 15 to 20 minutes to read), but my daughter is engaged for the whole thing.

This book is wonderful by itself, or as a tie-in to the video. (I limit my daughter's video time, and this is a very acceptable alternative for her). It is definitely deserving of space on your bookshelf!

I gave this to my 3-year-old daughter as a Christmas "extra" last year. She LOVES it! It is one of the books that she brings me on a seemingly constant basis. Although it is a bit long for a before-bed-read, it keeps her attention and is a wonderful story.

She is currently OBSESSED with anything and everything Cinderella. She has the original video, "Cinderella 2", several toys, and even her own Cinderella dress-up costume. This is by far the Cinderella item that she uses the most. She would have me read it at least twice a day if I'd agree to it! It's not that I don't want to constantly read it because it's a bad book or anything. I would just prefer a little variety in my life:) The best thing about the book in my opinion, is the pictures. They are beautifully done, and are appealing to all ages. I highly recommend this book for your little Princess!!!

this book still makes me laugh and smile when i read it and it will alwyas be a classic, and will be told from generations from generations, the mice are hilarious, and of course it teaches you of the friendship you make.

Cinderella

I rate this book with 5 stars.
In Cinderella a little house cleaner gets no attention,
Until her fairy godmother comes and makes her beautiful.
Then she can go to the ball.
I would recommend this book to anyone.
This is Walt Disney's version of Cinderella.

"Cinderella" is about a girl, named Cinderella, who lives with her stepmother and her two stepsisters (who, above all, treat her with disrespect). One day she hears that there is going to be a Grand Ball held at the Palace. This Ball is being held for the Prince so that he can find the perfect maiden for his bride. Unfortunately, her evil stepmother will not allow her to go. But, she does anyway. This book teaches that nothing can stand in your way of doing anything that you want to do. This book would probably be a 2nd - 3rd grade book. This was a very good book and I recommend it to anyone that loves to read an adventure story that has a little bit of Romance in it.

This story will make you laugh, smile and cry. It's one of the greatest books ever writen.

I admit to being a Disney nut when I was a kid although Sleeping Beauty was my favorite "princess". When someone gave this to my 3 year old daughter I honestly thought she was a bit young to get into the whole "Prince Charming will sweep me away" thing. Unfortunately she is obsessed with both the book and the movie. There are the obviously dated themes of the stepmother and sisters (notice how apparently a big nose and brown eyes make someone instantly ugly?) and the getting married after a few dances. But in addition to that, which I could have overlooked, is the fact that the book is simply poorly written. The illustrations are taken directly from the movie and are beautiful. But the grammer is atrocious and the story lacks the continuity of the movie. I dread having to read this to her at bedtime.

Cinderella is a children's classic romantic story that is timeless. The story has been adapted for various movies. I read the story decades ago when I was a kid. It was only recently when I was looking for a present for my five years old daughter that I bought the book and went through it again with her. We also saw the excellent video that complemented the beautiful story in the book.

Briefly the story goes like this. Cinderella lives with a mean stepmother and two ugly stepsisters. She works hard all day long on household chores such as cleaning, washing and cooking. Her only friends are two little mice, two birds, a dog and a horse.

One day, the prince was holding a ball where he was going to choose a wife. The stepsisters were going to the ball hoping to be chosen as the prince's bride. Cinderella also wanted to go but the stepmother told her that she could not go because she did not have a gown to wear. However, Cinderella's friends, the mice and birds sew ribbons and bows to her dress, making it look pretty. When the stepsisters saw this, they tore it to pieces. Then Cinderella's fairy godmother appeared and used her magic wand to make a coach drawn by horses, with a coachman and footman. So Cinderella went to the ball. The prince saw Cinderella and fell in love and they danced together. However, Cinderella had to leave before midnight.

As the clock struck midnight, Cinderella runs away and one of her glass slippers falls off her foot. The prince looks for her and on finding the shoe, declares that any girl whose foot fitted the shoe would be his wife. Since only Cinderella can fit it, she is eventually found and she marries the prince and they live happily ever after.

This is good reading for young ones as they can learn the values of being good and kind to one another and avoid being mean and cruel. The book has pretty colours and it is easy for children to read and follow the story. The only blemish is describing some people as ugly when in fact all God's children are beautiful.

The Cinderalla book was delightful. My granddaughter loves it. Very colorful and easy to read to her.

Best love story told ever of all time! And if you ask any one else they will tell you the same thing. What kid hasn't heard the famous classic tale of Cinderella. If they haven't they should. I'd give a 100 stars if I could.
