Welcome to: A Book or Two: Children's Literature Reviews, a blog site that offers information on new, classic, and favorite children's literature, reviewed by university professors, classroom teachers, librarians, and those studying to become teachers. We hope you will find "just the right book" to share with others. Our goal is to keep the site updated with information about children's authors, book awards, and new releases. Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

Overview: Prince Cinders is a skinny, scrawny, little guy who envies his brothers. They head off to the Rock-n-Roll Bash while he has to stay behind to do the laundry. A fairy grants him a wish that turns him into a giant, hairy ape. He is blissfully unaware of his appearance as he makes his way to the Bash to win over the princess.
Activity: Students will compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the traditional Cinderella and Prince Cinders. They will use a Venn Diagram or a chart.
