I would use this book in my classroom as a literature compare and contrast lesson. Using the traditional story of Cinderella along with this book, I would have students make a story map that compares and contrasts the traditional and the Egyptian Cinderella stories. The two folk tales have similar character roles that can be easily distinguished by elementary students. Students can also compare and contrast the setting, time period, moral and values of the folk tales. Using this folk story with the traditional Cinderella story would also allow students to explore another culture and make strong text to text connections between the two books.
