Children will giggle at the final picture of the big brothers with pretty fairy wings, white socks, short white dresses, and hairy legs. It pokes fun at sexism and stereotypes in a zany romp. But this story is not to be taken seriously. An older child might realize that Prince Cinders's relationship with his new wife is based on a lie, that he saved her from a big hairy monkey.

The good prince is rewarded and the bad princes are punished. This delightful little story is complemented by comical illustrations. Prince Cinder is turned into a monkey by the fairy godmother. The couple lives happily ever after while the bullying three brothers become their fairy housemaids. (Why she's alone at a bus stop on the night of a ball is beyond me.) When the Prince races off without his trousers, (yes, trousers) the Princess uses them to find him. However, in a humorous twist Cinders is mistaken for a hero by a princess at the bus stop. When Prince Cinders appeals to a fairy for help, things don't exactly go right. Prince Cinders's older brothers are big, hairy, bullies. Prince Cinders is a goofy retelling of Cinderella with the roles switched.
