I did a study of Cinderella Variations a few years ago.  Check these links for more titles.  You might want to note that many of the variations are more humorous and fall under the category of "fracturing" of the fairy tale.  Cinder edna and Sidney Rellis and the Glass Sneaker are two such books.

Are you aware of Princess Furball by Charlotte Huck and Abelita by Tomie dePaola? The Rough Faced Girl by Rafe Martin.                    There are lots more.  PM me if you want more titles.

We read this book when studying Ancient Egypt:

The Egyptian Cinderella (Paperback)
by Shirley Climo (Author), Ruth Heller (Illustrator)

I was going to mention The Egyptian Cinderella, too.  (Julie and I use the same curriculum for homeschooling...)

There's also Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine.  And I heard about, but have never read, Cinder Ellis, also by Gail Carson Levine, which has a male main character.

I found this link http://www.ucalgary.ca/~dkbrown/cinderella.html when I googled "Cinderella stories."  You might find something useful there.

Happy hunting and reading!

ETA:  Oh!  I forgot Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters.

I'm collecting them slowly most are on my wish list and our very small library has almost none of them. I may have to resort to the used book store for some of them that i'm not even close to getting. I'm sure we are going to have a great time reading all of these when I get them.

thanks for the help

There's The Chinese Cinderella- a true Cinderella-like story about an unwanted younger daughter.  A very interesting book. 

I'm sure there's thousands more I just can't think of right now...  

I'll let you know if I think of any more!
