Greenwillow Books
2001
38 pages
Reading Level: 4-6, 7-8
Folklore
This book is full of beautiful illustrations that will capture its audeince. The story is what I would call a Scottish version of Cinderella. Peggy Ann does not care who she marries even if it is the Black Bull of Norroway. She embarks on a journey with the Black Bull which is fraught with trouble.
I would rate this book as good. I would use this book in the classroom to show my students how a common theme appears in folk tales from different corners of the world. I would have them analyze the story to find similarities and differences with other versions of Cinderella in which they will then compare and contrast them.
