Bigfoot Cinderrrrrella (Picture Puffin Books)

A great story for young girls. Cute retelling of Cinderella in a fun, silly way, with amazing illustrations.

I didn't know what to think when I first saw this book and saw all the positive reviews and the one very negative one. I still don't know what to make of the negative review. I doesn't apply whatsoever to this book. The book is very well-written and the pictures are really cute. The story makes perfect sense also. As a teacher, I like to use books to show examples of things I'm teaching, such as figurative language. This book is great for showing examples of similes and to discuss point of view. The Bigfoots (or should that be Bigfeet?!) view some things the opposite of the way humans would. I like the simple dialogue which fits with the Bigfoots being of limited intelligence. I also thought it was cute when the Prince Bigfoot yells not to pick flowers. I thought this was a humorous and cute story. I recommend it to anyone, especially if you like different versions of classic stories. Very creative idea this author had!

While traditional Cinderella stories are very "girly", this one was definitely better suited for my tomboy neice. She loved it. I recommend everyone giving it a try (there's a youtube video available of someone reading it). It's overall a cute story.

This is an adorable book. I used this in my classroom to compare and contrast between other Cinderella books (also with perspective and point of view). The illustrations are very detailed and it is just a cute spin on the story of Cinderella. This story makes the boys even want to learn about Cinderella (which they're not too keen on learning about other versions).

Very cute book. My four-year-old is obsessed with Bigfoot so this was perfect. It’s a Cinderella story with Bigfoot. Very fun to wind down before bed!

I bought this book to use in a 4th grade Cinderella unit. The main story themes are pretty much the same, but there is a "green" twist to almost everything. . Rrrrella is overworked and oppressed by her spoiled step sisters and mean step mother. She is kind, nature loving, huge, stinky, and dirty compared to her more petite and clean step family. The nature loving prince holds a big festival where other Bigfoot come to compete in games. Rrrella must stay behind to fish for her family, but meets her "Beary Godfather," who readies her for the festivities and log rolling event. The Bigfoot female that can roll the prince off a log and into the river will become his bride. As expected, Rrrrella rolls him off the log and they dance and enjoy each others' stinkiness. Rrrella loses her huge wooden clog before running off at midnight. The prince hunts for the Bigfoot with the foot big enough to fit the massive shoe. He finds Rrrrella and they live happily ever after. It's cute and a good choice to contrast with the original. The boys in my class were able to enjoy it without rolling their eyes and the girls were amused. My 3 1/2 year old son thinks it's hilarious as well.

As a first grade teacher I love this version! Great for teaching compare/contrast with different Cinderella versions. Also great to show how everyone is unique and what can be beautiful to one person isn’t the same to another. Unique is beautiful!

Unless you child especially likes bigfoot, I would give it a miss.
