Climo, S. (1996) The Irish Cinderlad
New York,NY: Harper Collins

Brief annotation: This retelling of the classic Cinderella features a boy whose father has left him with an evil Step mother and three ugly step sisters. Rather than a glass slipper at a ball, the boy looses his giant sized boot while rescuing a princess. She searches throughout the land to find the one whose foot is big enough to fit the boot.

Grade Level: 2-5
Genre: folktale/fairy Tale

Response/Rating: ** It was an interesting twist, but I prefer the classic Cinderella.

One question you would ask before reading aloud: "Who knows the story of Cinderella?"

  1. Will this book, which looks like it's part of an author study, also be one of your folktale variants?
