I read this when I got a request for Cinderella variations. Maybe it was unique at the time it was released, but it didn't strike me as that special. Lots of material for the requisite compare/contrast fairy tale assignment or Venn diagram.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book and every year I read it to my kids and they LOVE LOVE LOVE it as well. It is a great play on the Cinderella story told from the prespective of Bubba, the cowboy prince. I love reading it with a souther drawl (or as close to one as I can get)

Cute, gender swapped Cinderella story. Does contain tons of Texas stereotyping, but in the fairy tale genre I find this happens so often anyway, that this doesn't bother me. Really pretty art, quick read, and still interesting enough to keep interest.

As a reader, I can clearly see the plot elements of Cinderella within this fractured fairy tale. These include: the wicked step siblings and parent, unjust treatment of the good central character, the ball, magical transformation, recognition, and a happily ever after. In this story all of these are in some way turned on it head by changing genders, species, and even the setting and tone by placing it in Texas ranching country. The values can be interpreted a little different with the above changes. The way the book is put together makes it immersive by not solely drawing upon the source material but by creating a new tale.
