I had no idea when I started this little project how many versions of Cinderella I would find. This beloved story has been told time and time again. Different versions from all around the world. We started with the Grimm's Fairy Tale version of this story and we also read the Anderson Fairy Tale version of the story. Then we continued on, working our way through a variety of picture books. Some were fun and witty, others were dark. Many versions of this beloved classic can be found from all around the world. I'm also sharing a couple chapter books and movies.
