Cinderella
Written and illustrated by: Kinuko Y. Craft
Sea Star Books, 2000
29 pages
Traditional Literature
This is the traditional story of Cinderella who was mistreated by her stepmother and stepsisters, but still manages to win the prince’s heart. Cinderella is the story of a fantasy coming true.
Craft illustrates the book using oil over watercolors. The text for the book is set in Adobe Koch Antiqua font and the placement is formal. Borders are used around the pages with text and the illustrations are done in both single and double-page spreads.
This book would be appropriate for anyone to read. Most people are very familiar with the story of Cinderella. Cinderella could be used in the classroom when studying character traits. The students could do a Venn diagram on the traits of Cinderella versus her stepsisters.
K. Y. Craft has won many awards for her art. She has won five gold medals from the Society of Illustrators and her paintings have appeared in Time magazine, Newsweek, and National Geographic. I would definitely recommend this book to be used in the classroom.
