Reviews

Very Little Cinderella, with her "lello boots" and "BIG blue scooter" is truly adorable. * https://jillrbennett.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/very-little-cinderella/ * I love the concept of twisted fairy tales - children know all the traditional tales so well and the variations bring new life to them, making them appealing and contemporary. Very Little Cinderella speaks to us in a child's voice with a child's speech and young ones will really respond to this; it's cleverly and wittily done. A super contemporary take on the old favourite with plenty of humour. * Parents in Touch * A quirky twist on the traditional tale will have children everywhere laughing themselves to sleep. -- Rebecca Hay * www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk * Very Little Cinderella is a well thought out and excellently illustrated book worth having -- Philomena Manson * Children's Books Ireland * This is a cosy story, ideal for reading at bedtime * Books for Keeps *
