Strengths:
I love fairy tale retellings. By setting this version of Cinderella in the South it adds a certain exotic quality to the original story. The story also has a repeating rhyme when Moss gown calls on her fairy godmother which makes the book a good read aloud for children. The illustrations are wonderfully done and are a great addition to the story.
Concerns:
For me there weren't any concerns for this book.
