“This board book version of Cinderella is perfect for little hands that want to hear a condensed, but still detailed, version of the story. There's a good amount of text in this board book, and the illustrations are stunning!”

“I love the premise of this series--traditional fairy tales represented in various artistic styles from around the world--and I love the illustrations in this book, which tell the story of Cinderella using a Mexican style. It's fun to look at and fun to read. The only downside for us is that there are kind of a lot of words per page, so it's a bit of a slow read.”
