Zombierella: Fairy Tales Gone Bad

Product Information

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. The band was founded by Oleg Fomchenkov (also known as Oleg Gitarkin) who had previously performed with Oleg Kostrov as Messer für Frau Müller [ ru]. Messer Chups is often considered a "spin-off" band of Messer für Frau Müller. [ citation needed] In the group's name, "Messer" is taken from the German word for "knife" and "Chups" from Chupa Chups lollipops. [3] Zombierella is the first in a three-part series by Coelho, called 'Fairytales Gone Bad', which are retellings of classic fairytales, but with a gruesome twist!

The story starts with a mysterious librarian discovering a forgotten bookshelf with rotten books (like rotten fruits!) that are considered dangerous and forbidden. This bookshelf contained many well-known to us fairytales that went bad. The librarian chose to share a rotten story of Cinderella, that now is named Zombierella! I saw this book in the library and realised that we read it at school before. I enjoyed the book and my favourite character is Lumpkin because I love horses and I thought that he had a great personality. I would recommend it to my friend because she loves horses too. 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.

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.This adorable book revolves around Cinderella, who lives and works all day for her FAKE sisters and mother in the most tiresome way. One night, after her FAKE family goes out to the ball to dance with the mysterious prince, Cinderella slips on the stairs and DIES!! The death angel walks in then and revives her for three nights ahead so she could live and enjoy life for a limited time and dance with the prince! Things take a mischievous turn then that makes you wonder, did this fairy tale really go bad, or did the fairy tale go riotously right?

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. Cinderella falls down the stairs one night and is killed whilst her ‘fake’ mother and step-sisters are at the mansion where a three-night ball is being held so that the new owner, the Prince, can find himself a bride.

Un retelling algo tétrico del cuento de la Cenicienta. Y digo tétrico, porque la Cenicienta en este cuento está muerta, y vuelve a la vida como zombie, y ya no os digo nada de su príncipe, un vampiro que va de pueblo en pueblo buscando novias. 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

My daughter struggles with reading and is often put off by chapter books... But this... With its dark and lyrical prose and wonderful illustrations had her asking for just one more chapter... Just one more. Your child might be interested in thinking about similarities and differences with the more familiar version of Cinderella.

Age 7-9 This illustrated verse novel is the perfect story for young readers seeking gruesome tales. The grey scale illustrations have just the right balance of gore and humour. A librarian discovers a dusty corner of the library with a selection of fairy tales which have gone ‘bad.’ When Cinderella slips and dies the shadow of death breathes life into her body. For three nights only she becomes Zombierella and is able to attend the prince’s balls travelling in a mushroom coach pulled by her skeletal steed Lumpkin, she seeks revenge on her fake sisters and mesmferises the vampire prince with her beauty. This is the first in a series of ‘fairy tales gone bad’ for those hungry for more. Watch a trailer and listen to a performance of part of the book This is one of the most creative adaptations of Cinderella I have ever read -- and despite its whimsy, big font, and easy-ish language, one of the darkest I've ever read, too! I think I'm still processing it. But the illustrations are gorgeous, the story itself is beautiful and autumnal and while at a few points I know I would have been terrified as a child, it ends so sweetly. I've lived next to a cemetery for the past four years and I could just picture it all! Definitely worth a read -- but not for the faint-hearted! Es un buen libro para que los más pequeños de la casa (y no tan pequeños) pierdan el miedo a criaturas como la muerte, los zombis, los vampiros, los espíritus, etc. Pues los muestra gentiles y buenos, así que creo que son de gran ayuda.

Por ejemplo, ya todos conocemos a Cenicienta, esta chica que ha pasado toda su vida obligada a ser la servidumbre de su madrastra y hermanastras sin recibir nada a cambio. Pero en este primer libro de Joseph Coelho veremos cómo este popular clásico da un giro un pelín más sombrío donde nuestra protagonista se transforma en Zombicienta, una chica que muere al caer por las escaleras por culpa de sus hermanastras pero que al igual que la original es visitada por una hada, en este caso el hada de la muerte quien le dará la oportunidad de vivir tres noches de ensueño antes de caer en el sueño eterno.

It was fiction and my favourite character was zombierella, this book was a bit creepy and humorous and I’d definitely recommend to people that like spooky books! I found it really funny and I like the plot twist of how Cinderella turns into Zombierella! I really liked the illustrations and the characters looked so pretty! Definitely recommend this book Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc.)?The BBC Radio 2 Book Club announced on 24 January that its new home is on the Zoe Ball Breakfast Show. Lo amé. Es una historia perfecta para Halloween de hecho, llena de gore, zombies y vampiros. Un retelling muy divertido para niños y adultos y aparte, está escrito en verso y se siente bien diferente. Este libro es un #retelling de La Cenicienta, que se lee de una sentada, y es adictivo de manera increíble. I think Zombierella is perfect for younger readers who like a bit of gruesomeness to their tales - those who like Horrible Histories will no doubt like this story.
