"Cinderella"

This book is a graphic novel. The main character loses her mother and her father remarries. The two stepsisters which Ella inherits along with a new stepmother, are cruel and order her around. They call her Cinderella. The father goes to the city and before leaving, he asks what he should bring home for his daughters. The evil step sisters ask for dresses and jewels, but Ella asks for the first twig that knocks against her father's hat on the way home. She later plants the twig on her mother's grave and the tears she cries water it. The twin turns into a tree and many birds live in it. Ella wants to go to a ball held in the prince's honor and Ella is told by her stepmother that if she can pick all of the seeds out of the ashes, then she may go. The birds help her, but she still isn't allowed to go. Her godmother asks her to find a pumpkin and turns it into a carriage and turns mice into horses. She also gives her a beautiful dress and shoes. She gets to dance with the prince, but in a rush to leave at midnight, leaves her shoe behind. A few days later, the prince comes to Cinderella's home and tries the shoe on her. It fits and they get married, but the sisters do not come to the wedding. The doves punish them.

I would teach sequencing with this book and ask them to put the events in order.
