Cinderella and the Hot Air Balloon

By Ann Jungman
Illustrated by Russell Ayto

Go to the boring old ball? Cinderella would much rather throw her own party!

Cinderella doesn't want to go to the ball with her father and sisters. She would much rather have her own party with the cooks and maids. So she does. All the royal guests join her -including Prince Charming - and Cinderella and the Prince leave together in a hot air balloon. This is a hilarious new version of the well-known fairy tale that every child will love.

  • Very humorous twist on a traditional fairy tale.
  • An excellent addition to the growing and popular trend of fractured fairytales.
  • Strong, confident female character.
