Sierra, Judy. Cinderella. Phoneix: Oryx Press, 1992. Print.
· Author: Judy Sierra
· Chapter Book
· Publication Date: 1992
· Genre: Fantasy
· Age Range: 8-10 years old
· Awards Won: None (Anthology of Cinderella stories from around the world)
This is book contains various Cinderella-type stories from different countries and cultures. In each of these stories were written in different time periods as well. These stories contain all of the necessary elements to be considered a Cinderella story, such as a mistreated protagonist (usually a daughter) and the meeting of the man that all of the other girls want. This book is the best example of Cinderella stories that I have found so far. After reading this anthology, children will learn about other cultures (other than their own) and will gain a world perspective. It is a great resource for anyone wanting to learn more about other cultures’ versions of Cinderella and for parents who want their children to gain a broader worldview. Highly recommended!
