Belinda is auditioning for the Grand Metropolitan Ballet's production of Cinderella. She is the perfect dancer for the part. Miss Lola Mudge boasts that her "perfect, tiny feet" make her ideal for the lead, but she loses out to Belinda's superior skills and grace. On opening night, Lola locks Belinda in a broom closet and takes her place as Cinderella. With offstage help from her onstage fairy godmother, Belinda arrives in time for the prince to try the glass slipper on her foot. One thing is ce...more
Belinda is in a production of Cinderella, but her story also mirrors the Cinderella story, so there's kind of a trippy melding going on. Really fun, and I love how Belinda asserts herself.
Great book that models self-acceptance, in this case having big feet as a ballerina who is to dance as Cinderella. A wonderful relief from all the 'perfect' physical attributes versions.
Great remake of Cinderella involving my beloved Belinda. My little girl enjoys every story she is in. Great book to use when showing your students that their is only one of them.
My girls love all of the Belinda books. She stands for loving yourself as you are and always doing your best!
We love the two Belinda books we've read, so I'll be tracking down this one as well.
This book was so cute! A new take on the Cinderella story, the book gives an account of a ballerina who deals with the actions of a jealous girl who wants her position. Adorable.
Today has been Belinda-filled! I love how this author tells a story.
Belinda in a take off on the traditional Cinderella story, sure to be enjoyed by Belinda fans.
Girl fights.
I really liked this book! It just spoke to me for some reason.

Natalya's new favorite book. Belinda has been cast as Cinderella in the ballet. She has very large feet but is very graceful. But she must compete for the roll of Cinderella. One of the girls wants the roll so bad that she locks Belinda in a closet on opening day. But Belinda still manages to get her Prince.
Being a big footed ballerina myself (though far, far less talented than Belinda), I can't resist these books. And I especially like the twist at the end of this one!
Cute cinderella twist.
