What's That Sound, Cinderella?: The Fairy-Tale Physics of Sound

by Thomas Kingsley Troupe, Jomike Tejido (Illustrator)

Overview

The stepsisters yell. The fairy godmother sings. The pineapple-turned-monster-truck burns rubber on its way to the ball. For Cinderella, this evening is an enchanted STEM adventure through the science of sound. For readers, it's a treat of a fractured fairy tale, complete with an ear diagram, a key-term glossary, critical thinking questions, and a sweet pair of glass high-top sneakers.
