“A great book for young children to sit and read, or even for a class read too”
(Paperback)
Karate champion Kayleigh was having a party. She sent out the invites. Brothers Gus and Gareth told their younger brother that he wasn’t invited, in fact, they were completely horrible to him. They treated him like their own personal slave.
Ruff the family dog found the invite which stated that all the brothers were invited. So he had a plan. Cinderfella borrowed his brothers leather jacket and sunglasses and headed to the party, but he had to make sure he was home before his brothers, or they would be mad.
When his watched beeped and it was time to leave, Cinderfella fled the party but in his haste, his sunglasses flew off and Kayleigh found them. She wanted to find the boy who had danced the funky monkey with her. So she searched around the neighbour, but would she find her dance partner?
This is a short, modern take on Cinderella, told from a male perspective and for little children. Gus and Gareth are the ugly stepsisters (okay brothers) that make Cinderfella do everything, including cutting their nails – Ewwww.
The book is fun, engaging and has some wonderful, bright and colourful illustrations that really make the story come alive.
A great book for young children to sit and read, or even for a class read too – I can see the kids doing the funky monkey around the classroom too.
