1: Great book
I bought this book as a gift for a 3 year old who is part Caribbean. Everyone in the family loves the book. Very happy with the purchase.

2: With a sense of humor and a bit of sarcasm San Souci brings to life this....
Author, Robert D. San Souci uses a touch of sarcasm in his voice as he retells this Caribbean version of Cinderella. The sarcasm adds an element of humor and makes this rendition more appealing to young readers. Teachers and readers can use an index in the back of the book to explain the Creole words in the story. The large number of Creole words helps to authenticate this story. There are many similarities between the Caribbean version of Cinderella and Disney's. The nanny uses a magical wand to change a breadfruit into a gilded coach. The breadfruit resembles a small pumpkin except for the fact that the breadfruit grows on a tree instead of a vine. The only main differences between this retelling of Cinderella is that there is only one stepsister,the glass slipper is a pink embroidered slipper, and the godmother is a wacky nanny with a sense of humor. The illustrator uses scratchboard, luma dyes, goache, and oil paints to create these magical illustrations for this wonderful picture book. By Jill Griffin 6 10, 2007

3: Extra Ordinary
Ravishing colors, strokes of Caribbean, the illustrator is at his best here. And the story, told by Cinderella's godmother, has a totally different ring to the usual, passive, goody-goody Cinderella.
The ending changes the whole outlook on this classic fairytale.
If you're tired of telling the same Cinderella story over and over again to your princess-toddler and you're longing for more... color, go for it.

5: cendrillon
cendrillon by Robert D. San Souci is a good book. I expecially like Vitaline's character. She is so evil.
Cendrillon's mom dies at the beginning. She gets a step-mom and sister (Vitaline). They make her and her godmother do all the work. The step-mom doesn't let Cendrillon go to the prince's ball. her godmother helps her go to the ball. the prince and her danced atill 12:00.then when she was running out the door she lost her sliper. the prince went to every girl in town and he will marry the girl who fits into the sliper. he got married to cendrillon.
I liked the story because it has some french words, and it isn't like the oringinal version.
