Cinderella-The Mice Save the Day



Cinderella is a classic fairytale about love(s), romance(s), and betrayal of family. I know that this might seem like a book for four and five year olds but there is a couple of thiings that I would like to put the spotlight on in this book. For example, how the author was so descriptive: Cinderella imaged herself dancing at the royal ball as she held her mother's old dress against herself. It might have needed a few alterations, but they wouldn't be difficult, if only she could find the time to alter the dress herself.


But on the other hand their were somethings that I thought could have been a little better. For example, after her animal freinds(her mice friends) made the alterations to Cinderella's dress, she just thanked them. But was there anything that they did while they altered her dress? If so why didn't the author mention them?

The little books are the books that really make you wonder 'Why do people decide to slack off when it comes to writing children's books? Is it because their littlt? Is it because they don't understand? Or is it because of the way that they were told the story(or stories) as they were growing up?'
