Brief Annotation: Isabella lives with her father, stepmother and two stepsisters. She is treated very poorly by her stepfamily and is forced to stay home and do chores, when she really wants to go the kings ball! With the help of her fairy godmother and a little magic she is able to attend the ball three times each in a beautiful gown, on one rule: be home by midnight. She spends the entire night dancing with the prince but on the third night when midnight came she fled from the prince and his palace, leaving only a shoe for the prince to try to find her with. Will the prince find Isabella and live happily ever after?

Response/Rating: 2, this was a nice transition from the normal story of Cinderella that I am used to hearing. The story was read from a special illustrated edition book, although with multiple illustrations form different illustrators I found it confusing my image of Isabella.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Have you ever found anything that belongs to someone else and tried to find the owner to return the item?
