Cinderella--With Dogs!

by Linda Bailey (Author) Freya Hartas (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

A hilarious picture book featuring a dog-loving kingdom and the most fabulous, far-out fairy dog-mother ever!

Here is a Cinderella story like no other. When Cinderella wishes for a fairy godmother, she's not expecting one that barks! And this fairy dogmother has a different agenda. Yes, Cinderella will have a new dress, but made of a cozy dog blanket. Yes, they will go to the ball, but they will run there and chase squirrels along the way. There's nothing like a canine companion to get a girl out of the house and her mind off her troubles! Yes, indeed, dogs do make everything better--and are a reminder that you don't need "happily ever after" when you have the joy of now.

Readers will get a kick out of this retelling with its lovable cast of characters and refreshing ending.

The imaginative, colorful digital illustrations burst with energy and expressiveness. . . . The brown, floppy-eared, tutu-wearing dogmother is adorably memorable. A barking good time will be had by all.
