Cendrillon: A Caribbean Cinderella Review
User Submitted Cendrillon: A Caribbean Cinderella ReviewsJuly 28, 2008 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. June 11, 2007 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 May 25, 2007 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.
