I like point of view stories of Cinderella. This story uses discrimination of fair skin, green eyes and blonde hair that differs from brown skin, brown eyes and straight black hair of the Egyptians. She was indeed the Cinderella who had her slipper taken by the great falcon god Horus. It was dropped in the lap of the Pharaoh who felt the gods gave it to him as a sign. He finally found his bride. A different slant especially with black or brown skin discrimination here.

We love the "cinderella" stories from the different cultures. This one did not disappoint. Lovely story and illustrations. We recommend it, especially for girls.
Purchased these for my Cinderella unit. My students loved the book. Great for 2nd grade's multicultural standard.
Loved this book as a kid. Love it now. I love re-tellings of fairy tales.
Gorgeous illustrations. Loved this as a child and am so glad to now read it my baby girl.
The Egyptian Cinderella is a really great way of introducing children to the ancient Egyptian culture. They are able to relate to a version of Cinderella that they are more familiar with and see how it is applied to the ancient Egyptian culture. The illustrations are incredibly beautiful and visually appealing. A wonderful book to be used by teachers during a Cinderella unit.
I found this story when I was helping in a second/third grade reading group. The kids enjoyed the story and the pictures are incredible with detail and color. Purchased for our family's 5 yr. old who loved it! It's the oldest known Cinderella story. It seems that just about every culture has a Cinderella story! The back cover gives detail about the story and other "Cinderella" stories.
I have been getting my books for my art lessons for my students from the public library and the school library. I started running into books that couldn't be located or books that were out of print. So I have started to buy my books in order to have them when I want them. The Egyptian Cinderella book and any of the other ones like this are a great source to have at hand. This books is colorful and gives the students a view of how an artist sees the characters in the book. I do Egyptian profiles with my second graders every year (they look forward to being able to do this project as second graders)and this book has great examples of different styles of headdress, hairstyles, patterns in the egyptian collars and colors. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Egyptian culture.
