Book Review - Cinderella Goes to the Potty

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Isfits . . . postmodern fairy tales and cautionary confessions.

Cinderella scratched a new line on the wall every night when the clock struck twelve. For 999 nights, she'd sworn to herself that she wouldn't stay long enough to see 1000.

She had a decision to make---the kind of decision that could change her life or take it from her.

MY REVIEW:

This is a very unusual book. It reminds me very much of the Tim Burton type things and, for that reason, I would definitely not recommend this book to younger children. Honestly, the illustrations even felt creepy to me so I would say children under 13 shouldn't be allowed to read this book.

This book is not about potty training - lest the title confuse you - it's about a child being held against her will with the plan of feeding her to the Potty. It's a twisted fairy tale on the order of the Grimm fairy tales with a whole lot of Tim Burton type stuff thrown in for good measure. Since I don't like that type of story or illustration, it was hard for me to even read this book.

I actually found the story to be a bit dark for my taste, but I know that older children find that kind of illustration and story to their liking, so I'm sure they would enjoy it.
