Top Ten Cinderella Books

Cinderella books have been beloved through the years.  The story shows how kindness shall prevail over wickedness, a theme that we need desperately in today's world.  In the primary classroom I would center my Cinderella studies on setting.  Where is this story taking place?  How many settings do we see in Cinderella?  In the intermediate classroom, I might consider discussing the bullying aspect of the stepsisters.  How does the bullying get resolved?  What feelings does Cinderella have to go through before she can overcome it?  In Middle School we might discuss gender roles.  Have those changed today?

Here are the top ten Cinderella Books:









These books were chosen due to their settings and gender roles.  What other Cinderella books might be chosen?
