Cinderella Skeleton by Robert C. San Socuci
illustrated by David Catrow
This unique children's book tells the common story of Cinderella and her evil step-sisters, but with a twist. Cinderella Skeleton takes place in Boneyard Acres with the most beautiful ghoul in the world with her dankish hair and yellowing nails. The story continues on as Cinderella Skeleton not only loses her shoe but her whole foot bone snapped off with it too. I enjoy reading fun and wacky takes on one of the more original takes on this story and I think young boys and girls will enjoy this as well. The illustrations in the book add so much to the story because they show the wildest and creepy images. The colors that were chosen for this book are dark, drab, and dreary which also supports the whole theme of this book. Overall, I enjoyed reading this inventive take on Cinderella.
Intended Age 5+
