From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—In Carey's fractured fairy tale, Cinderella is mean and lazy. She goes to the grand ball as a mouse (punishment by her fairy godmother for bad manners), and it's her kindhearted stepsister, Gertie Ugly, who marries Prince Charming after they meet at the dance. Although the story omits many aspects of Disney's Cinderella, Blanco sneaks in a few familiar scenes in his digital illustrations. Children will also enjoy seeing how Blanco changes the appearances of the Big Bad Wolf, the Wicked Queen, and the evil witches: characters who try to teach Gertie how to act more like an "Ugly." It's easy to make this book interactive by asking questions about the character crossovers or by introducing children to additional versions of the stories, which in this case include the fairy tales "Hansel and Gretel," "Snow White," and "Little Red Riding Hood." VERDICT A decidedly different take on the familiar tale.—Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canada
Review This amusing fairy tale mashup reveals that one of Cinderella’s stepsisters, Gertie, was actually the kind, helpful one...Blanco’s digital illustrations set the story in what appears to be 1930s England while infusing Gertie’s quest with a gentle humor to match Carey’s narration.—Publishers Weekly

Very similar to the original story of Cinderella By BrittyMama I am a huge fan of the retelling of classic fairy tales from another character's perspective so I was very excited to read this book. It looked to be a fun mashup of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. Maybe Little Red was actually one of the step-sisters? Maybe the Fairy Godmother was actually bad and the step-sister was looking out for Cinderella the whole time? Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed.We are introduced to the third Ugly stepsister, Gertie, and find out that she isn't very ugly after all. In fact, she is portrayed very much like the Cinderella we all know (except Cinderella is mean here). Gertie is super sweet and pretty, does all the housework, is shunned by her family, and isn't allowed to go to the ball until at the last minute she is helped by the Fairy Godmother. Sound familiar? There were a couple of nice cameos from some other fairy tale favorites (Hansel and Gretel and Snow White) but for the most part, it was too similar to the original Cinderella story.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Different Take on a Classic Story By tvtv3 Most of us are familiar with some version of the story of Cinderella. However, the classic tale gets turned around and mixed up with some other fairy tales in CINDERELLA'S STEPSISTER AND THE BIG BAD WOLF. In this story, Cinderella is not very nice and she has not two, but three stepsisters. The other two everyone has heard of before, but the third stepsister is a girl named Gertie. Gertie is not like the rest of her Ugly family (their last name really is Ugly). She's sweet, nice, and kind. She wants desperately to go to the Prince's ball, but her mother won't let her unless she learns to be as wicked and mean as the rest of the family. So, Gertie is sent from one fairy tale villain to the next in an attempt to learn how to be mean. However, Gertie just can't seem to be mean and she seems to have no way to get to the ball. Help comes in an unexpected companion. CINDERELLA'S STEPSISTER AND THE BIG BAD WOLF has several cameos from other fairy tale characters. The story isn't as in-depth as other mashups and some readers might not like that. However, it's cute and has a certain charm and most children will probably enjoy reading it (or having it read to them).
