The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm
5.0
This is the traditional story of Cinderella. When Cinderella's father remarries an evil step mother, she is devastated. Cinderella is forced to act like a servant and do all the chores while her two step sisters are treated like princesses. One day a bunch of dresses come and the girls are all invited to the Prince's ball so he may find a wife. Her step mother tells her she must stay home and do chores. A fairy god mother comes and with her wand transforms Cinderellas raggedy clothes into a beautiful gown and transforms mice and a pumpkin into a carriage and horses. The fairy god mother tells Cinderella she has until midnight before the magic wears out.
Cinderella leaves the prince in awe at midnight, and on the way loses a slipper. The princes uses the slipper to find Cinderella so they can live happily ever after.
The traditional tale and the 3D iPad app tell pretty much the same exact story. Cinderella Skeleton told the same story, but put a twist on it by the characters being skeletons or ghouls.
In the classroom I would have a unit where we read several versions of Cinderella. I did not know there were so many different variants to the traditional story and the children will enjoy seeing the differences. I would have the students compare and contrast each of the stories to help develop critical thinking skills.
Interest level k and up. I could not find and lexile or guided reading measures.
