Illustrated by
Sue Heap.
This book casts Cinderella as a spunky toddler ("Cleaning all done. Now I have cookie"), complete with "Ugly Sisters" and "the Fairy Godmother" (babysitter). Headstrong Cinderella crashes the party wearing "my blue dress" but must leave at midnight without "my bestest boot." As in Very Little Red Riding Hood, Heapy's tongue-in-cheek text is well matched by Heap's animated watercolor illustrations.
