A pop-up curtained stage is the vehicle of this Cinderella retelling. Six spreads of multi-layered mixed-media illustrations in jewel tones with touches of gilt show key moments in the story, while pared down text appears behind drapes on both sides of the tableaux. The gimmicky format makes reading the text awkward, but this novelty book is mostly about looking.
