Illustrated by
James Warhola.
This Cinderella take-off occurs in the world of the "slow-witted" Bigfoots, where matted fur and a fishy smell are signs of beauty, and a grizzly bear serves as "beary godfather." Readers will likely appreciate the topsy-turvy humor and the cave-man-like dialogue ("Me wish go fun-fest. Me wish dunk prince"). Warhola's illustrations make full use of the story's silly possibilities.
