Zombierella: Fairy Tales Gone Bad

Product Information

I was unsure what I was going to make of the book as it opens with one of Cinderella’s pets who was old and infirm dying and her having to bury it. But then the book came alive. It was an exceptional read. Very funny and cleverly written keeping all the main parts of the original Cinderella and making them grim, put it this way it’s not her shoe that Cinderella leaves on the stairs for the Prince to find!! The BBC Radio 2 Book Club announced on 24 January that its new home is on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show.

Thank you to Danielle (agenuineopinion on IG) for sending me her copy of 𝐙𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐈𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀 by Joseph Coelho to read. Don't you just love having bookish friends that you can swap books with?! I loved how unapologetically dark it was. It still has all the classic fairytale messages such as true love and being a good person but with a zombie Cinderella and other dead/undead characters. The three fake sisters chopping off their own feet, in an effort to convince the prince that the foot belongs to them, is very reminiscent of the original Brothers Grimm version of the tale, where the sisters chopped off toes and parts of their heels in an effort to make the slipper fit. el libro me ha gustado. Es un retelling de Cenicienta y forma parte de la serie Cuentos Estropeados. Nunca había oído esto - cuentos estropeados, pero este me ha gustado. Es una versión más tétrica y macabra del cuento de Cenicienta y quizás no sea apta para niños pequeños.

I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much if it hadn't had so many great illustrations, they are so beautiful and gothic looking while showing the humour in the story. They really brought the story to life (pun not intended) for me.Entre sus páginas podemos encontrar el clásico escrito en prosa poética acompañado de unas ilustraciones en blanco y negro maravillosas y tétricas a partes iguales, que además incluyen muchos detalles en ellas, así que vale la pena detenerse a observarlas bien. Me gustó, estuvo entretenido. Es un retelling de la cenicienta en versión más terrorífica pero desde un punto de vista infantil aunque igual no lo considero apto para niños xd Its amazing, I really enjoyed it because its turned from an fairy tale to a zombie book for older children. Your child might be interested in thinking about similarities and differences with the more familiar version of Cinderella.

I love this book because it is fantisy and very fun.It is also very dark because she pulls out her brain and her guts. Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc.)? The book Zombierella didn’t only look wonderful from the outside, but the story inside was wonderful too, with all the peculiar twists and turns in the life (or death?) of Cinderella written in the most amusing and comical way. It was literally the best twisted version of Cinderella I HAD EVER READ.This book is fiction and it is really good, I found that I liked it better than some of the books I have read already.I found it quite fascinating that it was a twisted tale and it still made sense to Cinderella. I consider reading more Joseph Coelho books! I enjoyed this. Its a Cinderella retelling that's told in verse but is also extremely dark, funny and witty. There were times where I wondered if it might be a little too dark for kids, seen as this is a middlegrade. But otherwise, I really enjoy this retelling.
