The audiobook of Cinderella by Sarah L. Thomson falls under the folklore genre and the intended audience for this book is 4-8 years old. This book is a rendition of the original Cinderella story. The author emphasizes that someone's physical appearance is not as significant as one's personality.

I am giving this book 5/5 stars because the author highlights the important aspects of the Cinderella story and does not include any unnecessary filler information. The overall message of the story is to treat others with kindness because judging someone based on their demeanor instead of their character will not give you a proper depiction of that individual. Cinderella also teaches readers a powerful message about the importance of not letting someone else’s negative attitude bring you down. Even though Cinderella is treated poorly by her stepmother and step sisters, she still treats them with respect. Even when Cinderella's mom passes and her dad does not stand up for her anymore, she does not become a negative person, she stays true to who she is. The language used in the book is very descriptive and even when I listened to the audio of the book without seeing the illustrations, I was able to use my imagination to create a scene of my own.

As a future teacher, I will definitely use this book in my classroom. Whether we are learning about fairy tales or the importance of treating one another with kindness, the story of Cinderella delivers a compelling message to children of all ages.
