Collins Big Cat is a guided reading series for ages 4-11 edited by Cliff Moon. Top children's authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that your children will love to read, banded to help you choose the right book for every child. Practical ideas for guided reading are included at the back of each book.

Cinderella is tired of a life of chores, but everything changes when her fairy godmother turns up. Just as she meets her perfect prince, though, the clock chimes twelve and she has to run. Will this hilarious retelling of the traditional fairytale, as a play by "the nation's dramatist" David Wood, end happily ever after?

A newspaper article of the palace ball on pages 30 and 31 helps children to recap the main events of the story.

White (Band 10) books contain more complex sentences, with unusual vocabulary and a larger number of unfamiliar terms. There is more use of literary and figurative language.
