"Very Little Cinderella, with her "lello boots" and "BIG blue scooter" is truly adorable." * https://jillrbennett.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/very-little-cinderella/ *
"I love the concept of twisted fairy tales - children know all the traditional tales so well and the variations bring new life to them, making them appealing and contemporary. Very Little Cinderella speaks to us in a child's voice with a child's speech and young ones will really respond to this; it's cleverly and wittily done. A super contemporary take on the old favourite with plenty of humour." * Parents in Touch *
