Reviews for Cinderella: A Grimm's Fairy Tale
'Ulrike Haseloff's soft illustration style perfectly complements this traditional tale, and Cinderella's beautiful ball gown has been given some added sparkle with golden glitter ... This book should provide lots of food for thought and discussion in the classroom where children will be interested to see how the story has been adapted over the years.'
Armadillo 'The pictures, even to the ship-in-full-sail hairdo on one stepsister, are based on 18th-century patterns and styles, and Cinderella's dress has a satisfying quantity of gold floral glitter. This Germanic Cinderella is simple, direct and rather sweet.'
Kirkus Review 'The hats Cinderella's sisters wear to the ball could have been worthy of Kate Middleton's wedding. And on two picture of Cinderella's ballgown, golden sparkly bits appear
literary an interesting touch!'
