The Rough-Face Girl : Martin, Rafe, Shannon, David: desertcart.in: Books Review: more like a 4.5 but it's amazing! I would like to warn readers that I am a teenager with no children or siblings who are young enough to appreciate picture books. Additionally I don't babysit that often anymore because I have work. So why did I buy this? I bought this because I need a fairy tale. A tale where the heroine or hero has every negative thing thrown at them but they find the light and overcome. Where the greatest evils are defeated by a greater good. That's what I need. And sometimes children's books and fairy tales provide the most realistic picture of what our life could be like here on earth or to come if we stay good. So my review will mostly be based upon how well it portrays that message. Art: very beautiful, but also dark at some parts. Cinderella's eyes literally look like black sockets sometimes. But it is very beautiful and well done. Some pictures take your breath away. Story: I LOVE IT!!! It is one of my fave!!! I love how cinderella is so strong and brave! She's very kind and sweet yet knows how to stand up for herself. She is the ONLY one who can see the prince and she knows it. And even though she doesn't have as much to offer she does whatever it takes to get what she wants. She's hard-working and I love her. Also it is very romantic how they meet Moral: very good moral. A moral of honesty trumps dishonesty. Hard work will get you what you want. Appearances aren't everything. And my favorite: sometimes the best of what you can do is crappy. But your best is your best and it will work out in the end. LOVE IT!!! Anyway it's a very uplifting story and I would read it. Also shipping is fast! Review: Beautiful folktale and illustrations.

Such a beautiful book. Our daughter's class was read this book and she just have to have it after doing a book report on it. We all enjoyed it.

I used in class for children to identify the similiarities and differences between stories from other cultures. Lovely pictures and very easy to use as teaching resource. - I found many children picking this book up in their spare time because they were intrigued
