Twinderella: A Fractioned Fairy Tale by Corey Rose Schwartz - OPTIONAL

Schwartz, Corey Rosen  Twinderella:  A Fractioned Fairy Tale  Illustrated by Deborah Marcero  PICTURE BOOK G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 2017.  $17.99  Content: G.  

Cinderella has a less well-known twin named Tinderella.  They divide all the chores and help with all the problems of the stepsisters, so when the Godmother comes to ready them for the ball, they share in the fun too.  Both sisters dance with the prince and in the end, the fairy godmother doubles the prince so they each have a husband.  They split the responsibilities and both live happily ever after.  

This is a fun math book about halves.  The story reads as a rhyme, making it a fun read aloud.  I didn’t love the illustrations and it was a bit weird that the prince was just cloned, but it is a fun twist on the usually Cinderella.  

EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
