Less math than I expected, but a cute addition to the canon of Cinderella tales. Oppressed by their mean stepmother, Cinderella and Tinderella each do "half the mopping, / half the raking, / half the shopping, / chopping, baking. / Half the folding, / half the mending, / half the mean / stepsister tending." When, after the ball, the prince comes searching for the twins, Tin observes that you can't divide a prince in half, but asks their fairy godmother, "Can you make a double?" With the prince "prepared the share" ("I'd gladly give up all my stuff, / it's love that I believe in"), he gets a twin too. While the original prince and Cinderella wind up taking the spotlight, the other pair "won all the kingdom's highest math awards." This clever rhyming tale inserts a STEM angle to the original.

A twist on the original fairytale, Cinderella has a twin sister.

This is the story you never heard about the twin you didn't know existed that discovered the best things in life were meant to be shared...or halved...or in thirds...or fourths. You get the drift....

Math takes a front seat in this fraction loving fairy tale, but the story is still superb! Cinderella is the sister we know that dreams of meeting her prince and living happily ever after. Tinderella is the mystery twin who enjoys puzzles, riddles, and dreams of twice the space!It's a fancy dance through the tale we know with a new twist and the edutainment factor really ups the appeal as well as the audience introducing kiddos to the higher powers of math in a less than scary way. Early exposure is definitely a way to help instill a love of the subject rather than support an unfounded fear.

A high recommendation for readers of all ages and the perfect add to your home or classroom library... ( )
