very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

This is a cheerful re-imagination

A quick uplifting story, with an encouraging change to Cinderella’s choices and freedom.

Well-narrated if you listen on at least 1.2 if not faster. The normal speed is painfully slow.

I received a free copy of this book.

It would not be something I’d want to use an entire credit on just because it is so very short (though just right for a bedtime story), but it is sure worth $3-5 for a Cinderella collector or wheelchair ability tale. I wish the author was still around to make this into at least a novella.

not enough story

I think it's important to have disabled characters in children's media but this book didn't have enough story.
