Cinderella+Pablo Ramirez= No Longer Boring

As I mentioned in my last post, I sell new and used books. A stream of books constantly flows by me, so every now and then I spot a gem. This month's gem is a re-telling of Cinderella written by Doris R. Miller and illustrated by Pablo Ramirez. Our friend Pablo Ramirez is the one who made this book a noticeable gem in the rushing waters of my rio de los libros.
Mr. Ramirez has such a modern style. I couldn't believe this art was published in 1965. Every page contains really fun illustrations that have the power to maintain my interest through-out a story that I've read many times. I'll only tease you with these two images that I've scanned from the book. If you wish to buy my copy you may do so here amazon.com/shops/johnt48.
