This chart shows how many times Cinderella would actually
say something within the 31 picture books. This varied completely: from one
book where Cinderella never said anything, to the 1995 Disney version where
Cinderella spoke 71 times. Needless to say, there were many times that the
narrator told you what Cinderella was thinking. However, the versions that
showed Cinderella's personality in dialogue as well as action were especially
effective. Cinderella has a lot to sayeven if she doesn't always say
it.
