Prince Cinders - Babette Cole ... silliness and imagination, dress it all up in jaunty illustrations, and what have you got? In the case of Cole's Prince Cinders, an outrageously funny romp of a picture book. Prince Cinders is a spotty, skinny fellow who envies his brothers' brawn and hairiness. Left behind to do the laundry while they zoom off to the Palace Disco, he is visited one evening by a fairy who seeks to grant his wishes. Trouble is, the fairy hasn't quite gotten the knack of spell-casting and big and hairy translates into an oversized ape. Blissfully unaware of the slip-up, Prince Cinders heads off in his new incarnation to the Rock 'n' Royal Bash to claim his princessa conventional end he achieves through most unconventional means. A madcap, highly entertaining spoof. Ages 5-8.

The princess thinks CInders has scared the hairy monkey away and chases after him because he's too shy to talk to her and he loses his jeans. She puts out a proclamation to find the owner of the trousers..........many try them, none fit them, until they fit Cinders. The princess proposes, Cinders accepts and a twist of fate becomes the hairy brot...more

Most of us are familiar with the fairy tale all about Cinderella.
