Summary: There was a girl who lived with her two stepsisters and stepmother. The girl was sweet, beautiful, and kind, but the stepmother and stepsisters were evil to the girl. They made her clean the whole house every day, which made her clothes dirty. Since the girl was always cleaning the floors and cinders from the fireplace all the time, the two sisters called her Cinderella. A messenger arrived at their front door one day with the news that they are invited to a grand ball. Stepmother bought all types of fabric to make dresses for the ball. When her stepmother and stepsisters left to go to the ball, Cinderella was upset because they didn't let her come with. Cinderella heard a voice, it was her fairy godmother! The fairy godmother helped Cinderella get ready for the ball by putting her in a beautiful gown, carriage, and coachman. When Cinderella arrived at the ball, she danced with a prince all night, and no one knew who she was. Cinderella have until midnight before the magic would wear off and she would go back into her dirty clothes. She lost track of time dancing with the prince and the clock struck midnight! Cinderella left the prince without revealing her identity, but she left one glass shoe behind. The next day, the prince went to every house in the village to find the perfect fit. When he reached Cinderella's house, the stepsisters tried to fit in the shoe, but it didn't work. Finally, Cinderella tried on her long-lost shoe, and of course, it was the perfect fit. The prince and Cinderella lived happily ever after. 

This version of Cinderella was so much fun and I loved reading it! I loved how the princess wasn't your ordinary version of a princess and how it was based in Mexico. The illustrations were so cute and any little child would love this version of Cinderella! I give it a 5/5!
