FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES
Rylant, Cynthia, Reteller

Walt Disney's Cinderella

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mary Blair. Stripped of the cheer-amidst-the-ashes spin that marked the Disney movie, Rylant's emotional retelling, accompanied by romantic archival artwork from the designer who inspired the look of the Disney film, gets down to the gritty basics. Rylant's text proves a good match for Blair's impressionistic, spun-sugar scenes of gilded (except for the scullery) interiors and ethereally lit exteriors.
