Bubba the Cowboy Prince is a modern-day Cinderella story that takes place down in Texas. But instead of the beautiful Cinderella, we have Bubba the cowboy. Bubba lives on a ranch with his wicked step brothers and step daddy. He takes care of the cattle and does all the chores around the farm every day. One day Miz Lurleen, a wealthy girl who owns large ranch decides she wants a partner in her ranchin' and throws a ball.
This is a great twist on the classic Cinderella tale that kids will love. It contains not only a great story, but also some text elements of a different culture. The story takes place in Texas, and rightfully so, it needs to be read with a little southern twang.There are phrases such as "cuter than a cow's ear" that almost force you to read it like a southerner. I would love to have this in my classroom!
