Cinderella Book and CD by Disney

My daughter said this book and CD was great. I asked why and she said it was because at the end Cinderella doesn't live with her ugly sisters.

The story of Cinderella is so widely known that you'll know what to expect here. I let my 6-year-old daughter listen to the CD whilst reading the book. The CD runs for just 8-minutes though. This is one track that contains all the story and has chimes ringing for when the page in the book needs to be turned, as well as various sound effects in the background.

And the voices of the characters are actors that sound like the ones in the film. The only bit that didn't work well was the transition between voices, and the narrator being clearly aimed at the American market.

The book is very well laid out with nice full page pictures running throughout, and is the sort of high quality look that you'd expect from Disney.

The CD itself fits into the front cover of the book with a plastic covering holding it in, and the book is hardcover too. This means it isn't as flimsy as some other books that come with CDs where the CD holder gets ripped out by little hands. The CD has a picture of a clock on it too, which is of course relevant to the story, and is just another little detail that tells you this is a Disney product.

Most of all I think this book is ideal for girls who love Disney Princesses and are learning to read, so that they can give their parents some quiet time as they go off somewhere to listen to the CD and read the book.

We have the Snow White Book & CD and Little Mermaid Book & CD ones of these already and this one probably looks the best but doesn't quite sound as good on the CD and is shorter, plus if you are going to choose a Disney story you'd probably go for one of the others (my daughter's favourite is Snow White which comes with a song too) given that Cinderella is such a well known story even outside of the Disney telling of the story.
