Cinderella has a Mean Streak

"The Truth About Cinderella" was so cute but who knew she had a bit of a mean streak. This was an adorable short rhyme and a tell all about Miss Ella. Steven Goodwin's very clever to create this sketch. It was fun.

Ian Barker's performance was perfect. Absolutely enjoyable.

Short, Listen. Kid-Friendly

The Truth about Cinderella was cute and I can imagine listening along to it with my 7-year-old daughter--I only wish there were some illustrations to go along with the text.

The narrator was pretty good. He was "right" for the material. I couldn't tell if his accent was real or fake, however. Regardless, it was charming.

Cute listen!

I received this Audiobook in exchange from Audiobook Blast Dot Com by the author/publisher/narrator in exchange for my honest review.

The book lasts about 12 minutes. It is about Ella and her trickery. No one was safe from Ella's antics, including her sisters, the Prince, and Paul (another boy she fancied). The sisters were trying to get even with Ella for all the problems she causes for them, but then they messed up and decided they really couldn't kill their sister. In this story, the sisters are good and Ella is bad.

It was wonderfully narrated, and the rhyming was really fun. It was a very short book/quick listen.

Fun and Witty

Where does The Truth About Cinderella rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's a fun story told in rhyme. The wonderful story of Cinderella turns out to be so much more (as seen by a little fly on the cottage wall or could it have been one of the Cinderella's mice friends?).

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Pace was perfect. The narration sounded a bit "wet" (mouth) in spots but I don't believe it took away from the story. It was well narrated.

Any additional comments?
