we all love walt disney and this classic is no different. All the little girls seem to love a happy ending, and we always want to have our dreams come true!

This is one of my all-time favorite reads. Not only does it discuss hardship, but it focuses on determination. There are so many hidden issues in this story. It hints on beauty, race, gender roles, and the idea of waiting for a prince.

I think it would be important not only to have a classic like this book in my classroom, but to have discussions about bigger issues hidden in this book. I would definitely not just have this book in a corner and let students read it without discussion bigger issues of beauty, race, gender roles,

I liked the book because the young poor girl, becomes a princess and gets to marry the prince.

This book tells the timeless tale of Cinderella. She is a poor girl who eventually marries the prince and lives happily ever after. This could be used as an introduction into the fairy tale genre.

4) Grades 3-4

5) The story of Cinderella is about a girl who is poorly treated by her step mother and step sisters. Cinderella dreams of going to the ball but is disappointed when her step mother doesn't allow her to go. However Cinderella's dream comes true when her fairy god mother

comes to her rescue and provides her with a magical dress and transportation. Cinderella eventually meets the prince at the ball and he falls for her but leaves early due to the magics limitations and drops her slipper. The prince eventually locates Cinderella and they live happily ever after.

6) An activity that can be done in the classroom is to have students take on the perspective of another character in the book. Students can write a page in the point of view of the prince, fairy god mother, the step sisters, etc, and write about what they are thinking or doing throughout the story.

This is a story about an evil step mom and her daughters who think themselves better than the step daughter. Cinderella is made to do all the manuel labor in the household. Whern the prince announces that he is having a ball to choose a wife, the step sisters are sure that they are going to be

chosen. Cinderella isn't permitted to go. With the help of a fairy godmother and some mice cinderella goes to the ball and is choosen by the prince. It is eventually discovered that she was the beautiful lady and they get married and live happily ever after.

What little girl doesn't dream of marrying a prince and riding off into the sunset? My girls loved to play dress up and pretend to be cinderella. sometimes they even think that I am the evil step mom when I make them do work that they don't want to do.

In a class you could also read the story of snow white and compare and contrast the two stories. I think that you could also have them write a about what they would want a fairy godmother to do for them.

Cinderella is a favorite movie of many little girls around the world. This book will help girls see the movie in story form.

good book! everyone's perfect idea of a happy ending! everyone should read and know the story of cinderella!

Walt Disney's story of Cinderella is a timeless classic for little girls. This story is about a girl who wishes to go to the royal ball but her mean step-sisters keep her busy so she doesn't have to time to get ready. But with the help of her fairy godmother she gets to go.

I think Cinderella is

one of my favorite books. I really like the story it gives about never giving up on your dreams. I love the magic of story and of course the cute mice that help her out along the way.

I would like to read this story with all the other fairy tale/ princess books, such as snow white, sleeping beauty, and the llitle mermaid and do a unit on that.

Disney's version of Cinderella is porttrayed within this story book. Cinderella is a lovely woman that is treated harshly by her stepmother and step sisters. They cruelly do not allow her to go to the ball that is intended for all women in the land. However, Cinderella's fairy godmother nicely

helps Cinderella go to the ball. There Cinderella meets her prince charming! Despite mean tactics employed by the family, nothing can keep Cinderella and her prince apart!

It is a fun story and it is hard to not want to dress up for a ball yourself! The setting is far away and it is a book that makes you remember that even if things look bad, miracles do happen.

I would do a unit involving making your own slipper. Certainly not making a glass slipper, but the children would make it out of a variety of mediums. I think having a mock ball would be so much fun or at least a nice class party!

It was the classic fairy tale of cinderella. She lives with her step mom and her two step sisters. They make her do all of the chores and she never gets to do anything that she enjoys. The night of the prices ball her fairy godmother shows up and turns her rag clothes into a beautiful gown. She

goes to he ball and her and the prince live happily ever after.

I like this book because I remember reading this book when I was little. It is a fun story that has been passed down from generation to generation.

I would use this book in the class to talk about how we treat other people. If there are some kids in class that are trying to bully or just be mean. Another extension would be to have the students draw a picture of their favorite character then as a class would could discuss why they chose that character.

i have always enjoyed cinderella, i think every girl whats that fairy tale to happen to her. this is the perfect example of love conquers all.
in the classroom i would have some ball gowns and some suits and have the students dress up for a day and be treated like royalty then i would have them dress in rags on day and be made to do the chores so they could see both sides of the story.

Cinderella is a classic traditional fantasy. It is about a girl whose father passes away and she is left to be taken care of by a wicked stepmother. the stepmother makes her do all of the chores around the house, tend to her and the two ugly stepsisters. The royal prince has a ball. Cinderella goes

to the ball and at midnoght looses her glass slipper. The grand duke notifies the young ladies that whoever the slipper fits the prince will marry. The glass slipper breaks but Cinderella has the other in her pocket. She and the prince marry and live happily ever after.

I really like Cinderella. It is a story that you always have heard. It is the classic fairy tail that everyone wants to happen to them.

Some classroom extensions are to have the class dress up for the day and participate in a type of ball in the classroom.

This is pretty much straight out of the movie. Even the drawings are straight from the movie. It's a fun little book to read, and it's much quicker than watching the movie, so it satisfies my daughter's craving for Cinderella without having to actually watch the movie. She likes to read it to

herself a lot, and she loves when I read it to her.

The only problem I have with this is related to the story itself and not the book. I read a description of Cinderella one time that made me go, "That totally says why I don't like the plot!" It's that Cinderella was afraid to trust. Afraid to stay. Afraid to dare to dream, so to speak. Afraid to break rank and hope that her Prince would want her, even if he found out she was in rags. I mean, in the end, she gets what she wants and more. But still, for a story that so many little girls emulate, it sure doesn't teach them things that I necessarily want them to learn (don't trust, don't hope, don't try to reach for the stars, you need a man to rescue you, etc).

But otherwise, for surface level reading, it's fine.

Disney’s Cinderella is a classic and timeless tale about a girl whose parents die and she is left with a wicked stepmother and stepsisters who treat her horribly but one day she goes to a ball and meets a handsome prince. This tale offers a delightful message about good always being triumphant

Show More

over evil and that if you keep believing you dreams will come true. I love this book not just because it is a timeless tale but because of the development of the plot and the fun characters that are offered throughout the book.
The plot offers a lot to the story and is pretty well developed for a children’s book. For example when Cinderella can’t find time to make her dress and for a while the reader doesn’t even know what will happen. The plot then picks up and her mice friends make the dress for her but you don’t know if they will finish on time. It continues to develop with Cinderella losing her slipper and you not knowing if she will ever get her prince. This is something I feel contributed greatly to the story, really captured the reader’s attention and helped to make the reader more interested.
A final thing I liked about it was the fun characters and the silliness of them. A good example of this is Cinderella’s mice friends, they are so silly and one specifically, Gus is so silly and absent minded that it adds to the story. Along with making the book more entertaining and providing comic relief.

Summary: The story follows Cinderella, a young girl who is mistreated by her evil stepmother and stepsisters. Her fairy godmother helps her go to the ball so she can meet the prince and they end up falling in love. However, she needs to leave at midnight and loses her shoes so the prince tries to

find her.

Personal connection: Cinderella is one of my favorite Disney stories, and not as scary as the original Grimm Brothers story. It is a reminder that if you are kind you will be rewarded.

Class use: Talk about the importance of being kind.

I have mixed feelings about this book after reading it. There are two reasons why I like this book, and one reason why I don’t. The first reason why I like this book is because of the illustrations. The illustrations are very bright and colorful. There are also many illustrations on each page of

Show More

the book that goes along with the story. I like how there are multiple illustrations on one page because it allows the reader to really see what is going on. Also, I like how when a character is talking, there is an illustration of them next to the text. For example, on one page of the book the mice are talking about how Cinderella doesn’t have time to make a dress and they are going to make it for her. Next to the text, there are pictures of all the mice such as Gus and Jack. The text says “a fat mouse named Gus”, and “a skinny mouse named Jack”. The descriptions of the two mice are then portrayed in the illustrations. The second reason I like this book is because it pushes the reader to think about tough issues and broadens perspectives. Throughout the book, all Cinderella did was listen to her stepmother and stepsisters and never did what she wanted. I feel that children can somewhat relate to these aspects of the book. In the end, Cinderella learns to stop taking orders and lives her life happily ever after. The one reason why I don’t like this book is because of how some of the characters are portrayed. This book makes children create a stereotype about stepmothers and sister and how they are evil. I don’t like this because the characters are unbelievable. Overall, I think the main idea of this story is to show its readers that if you work hard like Cinderella you will eventually get what you’ve been working for. Also, it create imagination and creativity within its readers minds.

In my opinion, this is a great children's book. I really enjoyed the characters in this book. In Today's society, I feel that children can relate to the struggled life Cinderella lives. They may not experience the same situations but they still experience the concept of overcoming life's

difficulties.
I also really liked the illustrations throughout the book. The illustrations show the expressions/ emotions of all the characters especially Cinderella. This helps the students connect with the story and feel the emotions that are present throughout the book.
The main idea of this story is to always follow your heart. A dream is a wish your heart makes.

This retelling of Cinderella was very beautiful. I loved how bright and vivid the pictures were. You could see the sparkles on Cinderella’s dress and the different shades of blue. I also loved how simple the background images were. When Cinderella was shown in front of the castle, the castle was

I have always loved this book. A reason for this being the story is simple and classic. I like that it is predictable and you know she will end up with her happily ever after married to the prince. Another reason I like this book is because the character of Cinderella is an underdog and the author

makes you root for her. Through her stepmothers mistreatment of her (making her do many chores while her stepsisters get to lounge around the castle) you cheer for when she pursues her own interests and sneaks out to the ball.
I think the big idea of this story is that you should always believe in yourself and take charge of your life.
