Furball promised to be back in one-half hour and ran quickly to her little shed, there she washed off the stains and soot from her face and hands. Then she let down her hair, then she took her dress as the moon out of the walnut shell, and put it on.

This book would be good to use when teaching the importance of fairytales. For example, students could recognize the use of three dresses or the role of good and evil. This story could also be used when discussing the beginning, middle, and end.

Princess Furball by Charlotte Huck is a fairytale with a lot of number 3 representations. The story reminds me of Cinderella and Snow White. The story is about a princess who is set to be married, but she runs away and becomes a servant to a king. She attends a dance and meets a prince.

I thought it was so interesting to read this because I never knew it was a retelling of the tale Cinderella which has always been one of my favorites!

Princess Furball is a children's book written by Charlotte Huck and illustrated by Anita Lobel in 1989. It is considered a retelling of Cinderella. A golden-haired princess, distressed when her father makes her agree to marry her to an ogre, runs away, disguising herself in a coat made of a thousand furs.
