I thought that this story was a very cute, fractured, retelling of Cinderella. Just the fact of this story featuring sasquatches was hilarious to me. I thought that it was cute that the prince had a challenge for all of the female sasquatches (to knock the prince into the water from off of a rolling log)...

| Author | Penny Pollock |
| ISBN | 0316713147 |
I CANNOT take this book seriously.
As a Native American version, there is this element of quiet, dignified, solemnity inherent in the story. So as I'm reading this to my kids, I sort of blew the mood when the otherwise normal farmyard turkeys unexpectedly started talking:
'Willingly,...

Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper
| Author | Marcia Brown |
| ISBN | 0684126761 |
While I quite enjoyed the narrative of Marcia Brown's adaptation, I did not absolutely love it. I guess I am someone who has always as a rule liked the Grimms' version of the Cinderella tale rather more than Perrault's rendition (I might not like the violence at the end of the Brothers Grimm's Cinderella...
