Cinderella Penguin, or, The Little Glass Flipper
Having taken the delightfully ridiculous decision to make Cinderella a penguin, Janet Perlman writes the familiar story with a straight face, and is always consistent.  It's the illustrations that make this book hilarious. (The Globe and Mail199206)it's the funny, full-color illustrations that really make the book a success:  penguins cinching corsets, “Lady and the Penguin” tapestries on the palace wall, the Prince and Cinderella dancing a tango.  These wide-eyed characters are full of personality.  An amusing variant with a silly premise that works throughout the book.
