Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Fairy Tale Princess Stories Cripple Kids, Psychologically
Had a chance to peruse this, but my comments are general and apply to many other stories in this genre.


As much as I loved fairy tales as a kid, I will never be the one to expose my daughter to them.

The very idea of waiting for someone else to make everything better, that one should be long-suffering and meek in the meantime, etc., is an idea that creates unrealistic hopes that cripple people psychologically.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best Cinderella story
I read this book back when I was in middle school & I remember thinking to myself - "He loved her for how beautiful she was as a person". How many books do that for kids?? Even as an adult now, I love the memory of this book. I'm buying simply to enjoy it all over again & pass it on to my future children to read ( even boys can get a good lesson from it!).



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best book on earth
I thought the book was very interesting. It was a good book and it was a fun kid's book. When I read it the book reminded me of Cinderella, but I didn't know it was an Indian version. I think many girls who like nature will like this book.
