de la Paz, M. J. (2001) Abadeha: The Phillipine Cinderella. Hong Kong: S
Shen's Books.
Brief Annotation: This version of the Cinderella is very reminisent of the classic European version. Once again a beautiful young girl looses her mother at a young age and must be raised by a resentful step mothre with two ugly step sisters. Instead of a fiary godmother, this Cinderella has the help of the spirits in nature. And, instead of a glass slipper the Prince tracks her down from a lost ring.
Grade level: 1-3 read aloud/ 4-5 independent reading
Readers who will like this: children who enjoy folktales, readers learning about other cultures
Response/Rating 1-4: 3 I liked this version of the story and the pictures were very beautiful.
One question to ask before read aloud: Where are the Philippines?
