“They threw themselves at her feet and begged forgiveness for all their bad treatment of her.“

This book could be used in the classroom to teach about the moral lesson that kindness will be rewarded. This would be a good activity to use in the beginning of the year to set the tone for how students should treat each other in the classroom.

This book won its Caldecott Award in 1955. This story is a classic tale that is known across many age groups. Although Cinderella herself might not be relatable, the feelings that she goes through are (exclusion and sadness). The simple yet detailed pictures will catch the attention of children because there is much to look at and different things to focus on, from the dresses to the facial expressions.

“Someone else would have made nests of their heads, but not Cinderella. She was good. She dressed them perfectly“

I could use this book in my placement to talk about the moral values of being kind, fair, and to do what is right! I think my students would enjoy the older photos with so much color and detail.

Cinderella, by Marcia Brown published in 1954 and received the Caldecott award in 1955. This is a classic story that uses simple, yet eye catching illustrations that connect readers with the story. There are reds and blues outlined with black to make the pictures pop. Cinderella is an old tale that emphasizes the moral character principles of treating others fairly and that beauty comes from within.

“Now go into the garden and bring me a pumpkin“ this is a quote that we have all heard with the story, but it is a silly one where it can be a talking point for students where we ask for their imagination to run wild and ask what she could be doing with it! I love how she take a pumpkin and makes it into her big beautiful carriage!

This book would be a great book to have in your library with your students who are at a higher reading level with some support if necessary for larger vocabulary words.

Cinderella is a classic tale told by Marcia Brown published in 1954 and was a Caldecott winner in 1955. This classic tale tells the story of Cinderella and her wicked step mother. The language in this book uses verbaiage that children of today are not used to, but exposes students to new words. The colorful pictures depicted with simple bright colors are engaging! More of a dense book with the amount of writing but has large enough font.

The fairy godmother had scarcely touched Cinderella with her wand and her rags changed into a gown of gold and silver, embroidered with rubies, pearls, and diamonds.

This book would be great for a read-aloud for students. It could be a good book to read and then have students create their own fairytale or their own version of Cinderella.

Cinderella by Marcia Brown is a fairytale that has the elements of good and evil. The story is a folk tale, a story that has been recreated many many times. The story has a very flat dynamic with not much added to the characters.

This TL Caldecott Honor book would be great for IR because the classic Cinderella story may be a favorite of some kids, so they may really enjoy reading it! Having this book as an option in the classroom library aligns with UDL 7.1 optimize individual choice and autonomy. As well as ESOL strategy 4 link to student‘s prior knowledge, because some students will already be familiar with the story of Cinderella.

Earning Marcia Brown the Caldecott Medal, Cinderella is a piece of traditional literature (TL) that has captured the love of children everywhere! Even in rags, Cinderella is a hundred times more beautiful than her cruel stepsister. She is blessed with a fairy godmother who turns her sad night into something magical. This book would be great for a storytelling (S) to capture the attention of the students.

This book was great (1954). I had read this story at young age and always enjoyed imagining having this happen to me in my life.
The illustrations within this book are unique. They almost look unfinished at points. Some lines are not connected and the color is not fully opaque.
“Cinderella was delighted. What was the name of this princess?“
I like this quote because at this point in the book, Cinderella knows that they are talking about her.

“Cinderella was delighted. What was the name of this princess? They answered, 'no one knows. the King's son is desperate. he would give anything to know who she is.'“

This traditional book is a wonder tale that encounters full on magical abilities and hopes we girls all wish to have in life. Although her life was rough, it portrays hope of life out there we have yet to explore!

classic story with its own variant to it. A story kids always tend to love when fantasying about what a fairytale is entitled of!

I enjoyed the pictures of her in the different dresses the fairy godmother made! They looked different than the ones from the movies and the other books about this story!

This Caldecott award winner was a similar yet unique twist on the tale of Cinderella we all love! The pictures were very sketch like which was something unique to the story as well! The ending was different which was something that I enjoyed because it made the book less easy to predict!

Cinderella by Marcia Brown was published in 1955. This book is great example of a picture book! It has amazing illustration and those illustrations help the story go along even better! I definetly recommend this book to kids!

“Touching Cinderella‘s rags with her wand, she changed them into a costume still more magnificent than any she had worn before.”

Even though the illustrations won a Caldecott, I think they could be more expressive and detailed.

This particular adaptation of the classic fairy tale Cinderella is a translation of Perrault‘s tale, a French retelling. Cinderella is a classic princess and this can be fun for kids to explore the story through new cultural lenses.

"Cinderella asked them to rise, embraced them and told them she forgave them..."

I love the story of Cinderella! However, this book is for older children because it's a longer book.

This book was published in 1954. This book draws the readers in by stating "Once upon a time..." because children love stories that being with that statement. This story is well-known too which allows readers to stay intrigued. The illustrations use sketches and watercolor throughout the book.

I loved that whenI was reading this book I was imagining the movie in my head as I read!

A fairy tale that dealt with a princess who was treated poorly by her evil step-mother and two ugly step-sisters. The good in a person is why charms those around you and leaves an impression even when you may not know someone so well or at all. Cinderella is a sweet and beautiful girl who just wants to a happy ending. Award: Caldecott Medal; Published: 1954; Illustrator: Marcia Brown

“He found her lovelier than ever.”

This book is pretty long for a children‘s book, however, it is a good story and has creative illustrations.
