Whether you're a fairytale fanatic - or just love looking at pretty pictures - you won't want to miss Max Eilenberg and Niamh Shakey's enchanting retelling of the world's best-loved bedtime story, Cinderella!
This lively and funny take on the classic rags-to-riches tale promises to keep young kids (and their grown-ups!) spellbound as its quirky, chatty narrative style and dazzlingly dreamy illustrations breathe new life into the familiar story.
Stunning, sweet and wonderfully whimsical, this beautiful new picture book is the perfect for younger children still discovering the magic of books - and for adults who fancy rediscovering it!
All the old favourites are present and accounted for - including the just-scary-enough evil stepmother, the flitty and flighty fairy godmother, and a VERY charming prince indeed - but there are some nice twists in the tale too (lucky Cinders gets glammed-up THREE TIMES to meet the prince), and more than enough quirky and clever details in Niamh Sharkey's beautiful illustrations to keep readers enthralled long after they've finished reading the tale.
