Eva C WINNER

Find at least five differences between the original picture and the version in the book.  When Eva drew this, she hadn't read the book yet.  Isn't it amazing?  She is so talented with fashion, hair and attitude.  All she got in the way of help was, "Remember, ogres can be as tall as the whole palace.  anybody who feels like coloring this, just print out the picture, and make sure you remember the mom and three ogre teens are redheads.  FYI:  that's Cinderella and Prince Edward on the balcony (as newlyweds.)

Nayeli R -- WINNER!

The drawing is a lot more charming with the shading intact.  When our yearly awards happen, the original version will definitely be one of the contenders for grand prize.

Beautiful work.

Also a beautiful artist:

Jacob S -- WINNER!

There's only a few differences between the original drawing and the one that ended up in the book.  If you can find two, you're doing pretty well.  Jacob doesn't think he's very good at art.  WE DISAGREE.  The total dejection that prince feels is just about what anybody would get if he knew he was going to get in trouble with his dad, and Jacob caught it perfectly on paper!  Nice going.  By the way, the dad happens to be the King.  That makes it so much worse.


Jacob got a free book because he won this contest.  Congratulations!

Kennedy H -- WINNER!

The color version of this drawing is so charming, it makes us wish every book could be in color!  Kennedy only knew the short one in the picture was Cinderella and the ogre was a lot bigger -- a LOT BIGGER.  What an awesome job.  It helps that the ogre looks like a nice guy.  In Cindrella's world, the mountain ogres are decent people, just a lot to deal with.  Kennedy got a free book for winning the contest.  Yay!

here's how the drawing turned out for the book. It's the last thing you'll see in the book Big Help

Rachel C -- Winner!

Here's the amazing drawing for chapter 1.

Here's the lovely girl who drew it -- kind of looks like Cinderella, don't you think?

Here's how the drawing looks in the book.

Congratulations to Rachel.  This was a really nice piece of artwork.  She received a free copy of the book Big Help.  YAHOO!

Aimee G -- WINNER!

Aimee had to ask, "Wait.  How big are the rocks that are coming down?"  Answer:  about the size of cantaloupes.  With just that extra piece of help (and never having read the book) she came up with this wonderful drawing.  Cinderella stands between her husband and some pretty awful injuries.  because she won the contest, Aimee got a free book.  Congratulations!


Too bad we had to take out the shading from the original drawing.  It was really good.

People who love to color can print this picture, color it, and e-mail a picture of what you've done to contest2@flipsidefairytales.com.  Then, at the end of the month, watch this blog  or our Facebook page to learn who the winner for coloring is.  That person will get a free book!

Grace K -- WINNER!

Grace was one of the very first to enter the drawing contest.  She had the tough job of drawing a scene she had never read.  How does it look like when three ogre sisters (all teens) get all tangled up in a pile while they're working to gather cobwebs?  If she had time, she would have colored the ogres as redheads, but maybe someone down the road can do the coloring.  The patterns of cobwebs are great, but even better is the smile on the face of the one ogre facing front -- who says you can't have a great time when you're cleaning up?  Awesome work, Grace!  We love it!

Aubrey H -- WINNER!

Aubrey says in third grade she began to "observe more" of what things really look like.  That's when her drawings didn't end up with huge heads any more.  Considering she was just 10 when she made this drawing, it's clear she learned a lot.  Amazing skill!  When she handed it in, it was already colored.  So sad it can't go into the book in color, but we're totally impressed.



Any princess would be shocked if she found her husband tied to a tree with an ogre's shoelace.  Luckily, Cindrella knows just how to get him free.  Aubrey got a free book for winning this contest.

If you love to color, feel free to print this out, color it, and e-mail your drawing to contest2@flipsidefairytales.com.  One winner each month is chosen, and that person also gets a free book.
