A Magnificent Mouse Pop-Up | October 16, 2007 |
| It is a condensed retelling of the classic Disney version of the Cinderella story. What makes this so special is the pop-up design, where the pages lift up out of the book. What sets this one apart is the complexity of the pop-up design. The pages don't just pop-up toward the reader as usual, but in three dimensions so that Cinderella's dress can be seen from all sides. The BACKS of the pop-ups are printed as well as the fronts, and it is not just a repeat of the front image, but entirely new painted images. You can see what is on the walls inside the mouse holes, and there are pull tabs to open drawers and pull things out of character's pockets. There is lots more to do in searching the pages for hidden treasures, as well as reading a classic fairy tale. | ||

A Wish Your Heart Makes: From the Grimm Brothers' Aschenputtel to Disney's Cinderella | February 10, 2015 |
| With its kind heroine who receives her just reward-and a dashing prince-with the help of her Fairy Godmother, Cinderella is one the most beloved fairy tales throughout the world. Although the most popular versions appeared in Charles Perrault's Histoires ou contes du temps pass ("Stories or Fables of Times Past") (1697) and the Grimms' "Fairy Tales" (1812), the story can be traced back to the story of Rhodopis, a Greek slave girl who marries the pharaoh of Egypt, which Strabo recorded in the first century B.C.E. In the late nineteenth century, British folklorist Marian Roalfe Cox catalogued 345 variations of the story.
For more than two thousand years, children and adults have read and watched as Cinderella endured cruel mistreatment without complaining-and met her prince before the stroke of midnight. A Wish Your Heart Makes will trace the history of the fairy tale, emphasizing its strong ties to Walt Disney and his studio. Major artists who illustrated the story of Cinderella range from Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Burne-Jones, and Walter Crane, to Gustave Dor , Edmund Dulac, John B. Gruelle, and Arthur Rackham. The story has been adapted to the stage many times, including the operas La Cenerentola by Giacomo Rossini and Cendrillon by Jules Massenet, the ballet by Sergei Prokofiev, and musical adaptations by Rogers and Hammerstein and Stephen Sondheim. There have been scores of Cinderella films, beginning with a black and white short in 1907. But the most celebrated is Walt Disney's, one of his most beloved fairy tales-and the film that saved his studio, which had languished in the doldrums after the end of World War II. Years later, when a lunch guest asked Disney what his favorite piece of animation done at his studio, he replied, "I think it would be when Cinderella got her ball gown." | ||

The Enchanters: Fairy Godmother | September 3, 2024 |

Studying magic, forging friendships, and stumbling upon an unlikely romance, Renée is on an exciting path. But this new path is not without its own challenges. Renée longs to return to the mortal realm with the coveted title of godmother, a dream that seems just out of reach.
