Bubba, The Cowboy Prince by Helen Ketteman
Written by Helen Ketteman, illustrated by James Warhola. Published by Scholastic Press, copyright 1997.
Grade level: 1st-4th
This is a story loosely based on the Cinderella tale, but this time the main character is Bubba who is the step-son of an evil rancher in Texas, and his fairy godmother is a cow.
This is a cinderella story that boys and girls will both like as it has great illustrations and a fun story. I personally liked the southern dialect worked into the text.
Possible themes/units: different Cinderella versions, folktales. Can be used as a text comparison if used with grades above 4.
