“On the day of her wedding to the prince, as Renée spoke her marriage vows, better jewels nor flowers fell from her lips, for now she had no longer needed them.”
Traditional. This is essentially a different version of the classic Cinderella tale, making the story perfect for young children. It‘s silly but still has a message and is easy to follow and engage a classroom of children.
pickToads and Diamonds, retold by Charlotte Huck and illustrated by Anita Lobel, 1996. This story is very much a Cinderella story but with a twist. The story incorporates the connection to animals in a way that eventually connects her to the old woman. This story has a lesson to be learned about being kind to all will have its rewards and the illustrations accompanying the tale help the reader visualize it very well.
“Though she did not come from a noble family, he felt she had a noble heart.”
I liked how this particular illustration showed a montage of Renee doing chores
so-soThis book was a retelling of the fairy tale Cinderella. What I enjoyed about the book was the changing of names. Cinderellas name was Renee, and the fairy godmother was an old woman instead. I think this made the story different enough that it would be interesting for kids
