This is a short classic version of Cinderella but this book is different because it has both english and spanish. I think this book would be useful for bilingual students who are learning about Cinderella for the first time. All of these different adaptations of Cinderella is very interesting. I hope to read more in the future. ( )

I love these adaptations of fairytales because it gives me time to have my grandmother read them to me! I never get bored with all the different cinderella stories. ( )

This short and sweet version of Cinderella is a book that I believe would be very useful to readers in many ways. Not only does this book tell the true story of Cinderella, but it is also a bilingual book and is written in Spanish. The author does a great job sticking to the original story, as Cinderella is treated badly by her stepmother and stepsister, and goes to three different balls, and loses her shoe on the last night. What makes this book great, though, is that the text in this book is simple enough for language learning students to comprehend. I also love that this version of the story follows the original tale, rather than sugar-coating the story like Disney has. I highly recommend this story to any student learning to read, as well as learning the true story of Cinderella. ( )

In Cinderella, good vs. evil is the an evident theme and that good can prevail. The language in this version is different than what you would expect. It is told in English and Spanish ( )

This book tells the famous story of Cinderella, but it is not like most of the retellings of this classical story. Cinderella/Cenicienta, retold by Francesc Boada, is written in both in English and Spanish. Boada has written 4 sentences on each page, the top section is the story in English and underneath is the Spanish translation. The story of Cinderella shows that good will always triumphs over evil. Cinderella was kind, and for that great things came her way. This book also shows the theme of forgiveness, when Cinderella forgave her step family. Cinderella remained positive even during a negative time in her life, and eventually she received the perfect life she deserves.This is the perfect book for students who want to learn Spanish or English. Also, it gives those who speak predominately Spanish a chance to read this famous story everyone knows and loves. ( )
