Bibliography: Climo, Shirley. (1996).
Brief Annotation: This book tells the Irish version of the Cinderella folktale. Instead of the girl, Cinderella, and her fairy godmother, this book is about a boy and a magic bull. Will this story about the boy version of Cinderella, Becan, follow along the lines of the story most familiar to you?
Genre: Picture book, fiction, folktale.
Grade Level: 1-6
Readers who will like this: Children who like adventure stories, children who like Cinderella stories, children who like picture books, and children who enjoy hearing stories from other cultures.
Response/Rating (1-4): 4; This Irish version of Cinderella is quite different from what I was expecting. It’s includes a little more action and the character roles a switched around a bit. It was very interesting to hear the story from a different cultural viewpoint.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: Do you know where Ireland is? Have you ever heard the story of Cinderella?
