Editorial Reviews

Review

The author, Karen Cossey, has done a clever job with these stories. Each one is delightful and there's enough magic flying around to make the whole book a great experience. The writing is clear and concise, and ideal for the target reader, with a nice illustration at the beginning of each story to tempt the reader to keep reading. I found as I finished one story I simply had to read the next, and so on until the end. Karen Cossey has a lovely writing style and I like the mix of original stories and slants on classic fairy tales. Hopefully, this will be the first of many by this author. - Jane Finch for ReadersFavourite.com

About the Author

Karen has always written stories and she loves to put something of her joy of living and love of family into her writing. She lives in beautiful New Zealand, near to the beach, along with her family and two cats. When her two children were young she home-schooled them for five years-their highlight being spending almost a year travelling around Europe together. Her time in Europe inspired her to write her middle grade series: The Crime Stopper Kid's Mysteries about a group of misfits and their adventures solving crimes in different European countries. She has also written a unicorn fantasy for 8-10 year olds who love a quest. It's called The Adventures of Crimson and the Guardian and focuses on a young orphan girl and the journey she takes towards her destiny with a talking, danger-loving unicorn named Crimson. Karen's short stories for children aged 5-9 years have been gathered into a collection called Cinderella Sarah. There are fairy tales, friendship stories, dinosaur adventures and more. You can find out more about Karen's writing at her website: www.karencossey.com

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Karen has been writing stories ever since her primary teacher told her she had a great imagination when she explained that her math homework had been eaten by her pet cow. Stories were everywhere she looked, especially as she grew up in between the pages of books.

She left academic life, headed away from her pet cow and towards the city and after many exciting “life experiences” (something she was told she needed to have to be a writer) she settled in a seaside town with great weather and even better fish and chips.

Having helped prepare her two children to leave home by teaching them their alphabet and the effects of vinegar on baking soda, she now spends her days working with her husband in their family business, writing stories, and gardening with her pet cat to keep her company and tell her when it’s time to come inside again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Brother Saves The Day
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019

This book is a collection of 13 stories. Some are short and very interesting and thought provoking. There is also a smattering of well made pictures throughout this book.
The Bodyguard
Alex's mom is coach of school junior netball team. Mom Is Natalie and parents get crazy when they want their kiddo to be picked player of the day. He takes his guarding job very seriously. Someone tried to take the boy once before the dog came. Will that ever happen again. Will there be a lot of barking and teeth saying, 'My boy, not yours.'
Cinderella Sarah
We were locked out of our house when my father died and sent to live with Lady Roselle. Every Tuesday he came to visit Lady Roselle. The Prince found the boy by the river. He was good at acting out the story of their lives. Lady Roselle didn't like the Prince having fun with anyone but her. This story is called Cinderella. Is there a ball?
Eye'll Fix It
Jimmy had bicycle trouble. Mr Simmons, the school caretaker, might help. Greg liked to make up stories. His most recent story had to do with Mr. Simmons. Pizza, and eyeballs. If you have the courage, read this tale, if not move on to the next one. Hee hee

This is a decent book for read-aloud. I use it for Grades 3/4 and some of the stories have some nice lessons, too. Most of the stories take less than 15 minutes to read-aloud, which is perfect for a library class.

3.0 out of 5 stars some enjoyable tales for children
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2020

'Cinderella Sarah" is a group of short stories for children. Some of them share helpful lessons, like not putting things off for another day. The first story in the collection was about a young girl named Sarah. It's similar to "Cinderella."Although the stories are short enough to share at bedtime, I think the vocabulary in most of the stories would be too advanced for a five-year-old. In addition, I felt the book could benefit from more editing. If there were illustrations for young readers, I feel they would have a connection with the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... reading these stories direct from the author and I enjoyed every one of them immensely
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014
I had the privilege of reading these stories direct from the author and I enjoyed every one of them immensely! I loved how some of them contained recognisable characters from popular fairy-tales and the others were original and fun with characters to which you could easily relate.

No matter which of the short stories you're reading - it takes you on a journey.
If you like to read something related to the classic tales á la Brothers Grimm, or reading about a dog who's protective about his family - you should defintively give these stories a try, they won't disappoint you or your kids. These stories are made for everyone not just the little ones. So treat yourself, they will make you smile at least.

I love reading this book and my favourite one is The Bodyguard , but I felt it needs introduction of the characters in the beginning of the story for better understanding.
