My 4 year old daughter and I went to see Ballet Austin dance its Mother's Day performance of CINDERELLA today. My little one loves ballet and Cinderella, as do I. This was a perfect way for us to celebrate our special day together.

Now, everyone knows the story of CINDERELLA, but at the theatre, they had these little pocket picture books available for a more than reasonable price. The CINDERELLA: FULL-COLOR PICTURE BOOK, by J. Sainsbury's Pure Tea, measures roughly 4 x 6 inches, is made of sturdy, laminated card stock, contains 6 gorgeous, full color illustrations, and in six easy to read pages, gives an excellent overview of the original story. The back of the book states that the lovely illustrations are reproductions from rare advertising cards of the Victorian era, and each is very vivid and quite detailed. This is not Disney or Rogers and Hammerstein, but it is not quite Grimm, either.

This wonderful little paperback fits easily in a purse or bag, and is perfect for the car or a trip. It is also a nice length for a bedtime story. My wee one and I both enjoyed reading this little book, and it most certainly is a perfect keepsake to remember our 4th Mother's Day together.
