The Irish Cinderlad

This is a Cinderella book but based in Ireland. The Irish have their own twist on this classic in which Becan our Hero is the awkward boy growing up with the evil Stepmother and Stepsisters. Perfect for those little boys who are going through the tough stages that not all Mommy's can help with. I also recommend The Rough Faced Girl, and Yeh Shen to go with this collection.

Wonderful change from the traditional Cinderella story.

The Irish Cinderlad is a continuation of Climo's journey in theCinderella folktales. Children can see how a boy can also be part ofthe Cinderella story. Educators can use this story to demonstrate thesimilarities between different cultures around the world. The illustrations in this book continue with the high standards set in the other "Cinderella" stories in this series.
