BR 2-09: Cinderella (Davidson, 2004)


"There's just one problem," said Felicity. "You must leave before twelve. One the last stroke of midnight, my magic will begin to fade." (p.28) 

There was a poor girl, and her name is Cinderella. She has been worked very hard by stepmother and stepsisters. One day, stepsisters and stepmother were invited a Christmas Ball, but stepmother didn't allow Cinderella to go to the Christmas Ball. They have gone to the Christmas Ball. Cinderella was crying, and her grandmother appeared as a fairy. She had Cinderella bringing a big pumpkin, six mice, a rat and six lizards, and she changed the big pumpkin into a beautiful golden coach, six mice into white horses, the rat into a coachman, and lizards into footman. Her grandmother changed Cinderella's rags into a dazzling dress of gold and silver, and glass slippers were on her feet. Is she for the Ball in time? Does she marry the prince? I thought that we shouldn't do things that people hate, and the stepmother had to treated her children and Cinderella impartially. I also thought that Cinderella's father had to protect Cinderella from stepmother and stepsisters. Why did her grandmother appear the timing? Why didn't her magic keep before 12 o'clock? Why was the coach made of a pumpkin? I had some questions, and I was surprised that I heard that there are over 700 versions of Cinderella.
