Cindy Ellen: A Wild Western Cinderella

Book was in great shape, only minor wear noticed. Can't wait to use this in my classroom when doing our story comparison with Cinderella and other stories like it.

creative re-writing of Cinderella in western style. My daughter is 6 and into horses. She loves me reading it to her.Although there are western/cowboy terms of speech that don't make sense to her so might need to explain a little. But overall great!

I used this for doing a theme unit on Cinderlella books and comparing and contrasting them. Fed students loved listening to the western theme of this book.

I loved this book and have read it with several children at different times. It's a twist on the Cinderella story, but easily stands on its own. The use of western vocabulary brings smiles and children love that. Also, the heroine isn't a classic beauty but a "real girl" and that helps send a positive message. The book is short and easily read at one sitting. It's best used to encourage the child to talk about the characters and the story.

I don't actually like this story myself, but my daughter loves it so I'm giving it five stars since the book was purchased for her. It is basically the Cinderella story retold in the Old West. The book is heavy on rodeo slang and cowboy terminology, so make sure you know the meanings of all the words before you give it to your child. You will be asked lots of questions.

I bought this book to include in a literature unit on Cinderella stories for my second grade class. They loved it. The story was especially fun for us in Oklahoma. Cindy is much more like my girls and the events are more familiar. They don't go to balls or fancy parties yet, but they sure know about rodeos and bar-b-ques.Any teacher doing Cinderella stories must have this one.

My daughters, ages 4 and 7, LOVE this book! I great take on the tired old Cinderella story and super fun to read out loud. This one is frequently requested. If you're looking for another Cinderella story that encourages a free-thinking and strong girl also consider Cinder Edna.

My daughter, my nieces and little friends love this story, a western twist on the classic, "Cinderella."It is funny and entertaining. I have had have to read it several times in a row as the listener liked the story so much. I think I enjoy as much as they do!
