Cinderelephant

The conventional Cinderella story is fractured into a humorous version with elephants featured as Cinderella and the royal family.  Nasty warthogs are the step-sisters and a tiny mouse is the godmother.  The Warty Sisters are mean and rude while poor, lonely Cinderelephant is forced to do all the work.  Prince Trunky decides it is time to find a spouse so he and his parents, King Saggy and Queen Wrinkly, invite all the girls to a ball.  After the Warty Sisters leave, Cinderelephant meets her Furry Godmouse who transforms her into a vision in pink.  When she arrives at the ball, Prince Trunky finally sees the one person he will not squish on the dance floor.  They dance together until Cinderelephant rushes home at midnight, leaving her plus-sized shoe.  A search throughout the kingdom finds no one whose foot was large enough to fit the shoe until he stumbles upon Cinderelephant.  Humor and puns are both visual and verbal.  Large digitally created illustrations are cartoon-like and colorful.  This is a fun retelling of the traditional Cinderella tale.
