FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli. Based on the story by Charles Perrault. This is a visually luminous but not very warm retelling of the French fairy tale. Rendered with acrylics and digital techniques, Ceccoli's illustrations present a Cinderella who resembles a solemn china doll while evoking the grandeur of the reign of King Louis XIV, from which Perrault's original is inspired. An author's note provides background on both Perrault's and the Brothers Grimm versions.
