Fairy-Tale Retelling Picture
Book:
Plump and beautiful redheaded Ella and her father run a stylish
dress shop together with Buttons the bellboy, until a snaky bony
stepmother and her two snaky bony daughters take over everything.
Ella ends up in the basement working her tail off
until the day of the big ball, when she is dis-invited by her bony
steprelations for not having the right "look" for the event.
The stylish flapper fairy godmother shows up (parasol instead
of wings, of course) and Ella is be-flapperized to within an inch of
her life. She has a grand old time at the ball, and the Duke is
smitten.
Sadly for the Duke, Ella's already taken, and this
Cinderella politely declines the Duke for her very own Buttons. The
only way this would have been better is if she had rescued her poor
father from the harpies, because it won't be long before his tail is in
the cold basement working all day and night.
