The story of Cinderella is our next Mother-Daughter Book Club choice. Each daughter chose an alternate version of the classic tale. We found infinite variations and sources for this story online and at the library.
Some variations include:
Bigfoot Cinderrrrrrella
Cinderella Bigfoot (Happy Ever Laughter)
Seriously, Cinderella is SO Annoying!: Told by the Wicket Step-Mother
Yeh-Shen: A Cinderella Story from China
The Orphan: A Cinderella Story from Greece
Hannah chose to read and discuss The Fairy Godmother's Assistant, the first story in a Girls to the Rescue book by Bruce Lansky (the only copy we found). She prepared a Venellagram for each daughter, a Venn diagram to discuss Cinderella. She prepared a question to ask the group: How did Cinderella overcome her challenges?
Guests gathered for tasty treats and to discuss the chosen stories. There was some wonderful discussion about the character traits of Cinderella, how sometimes she saved herself, the strengths of Cinderella, how the fairy godmother motivated Cinderella to get herself prepared for the ball without magic, and our favorite parts of the stories. Alternative Cinderella tales could be used for many book club occasions, though we will move on to other favorite tales.
