Once upon a time there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty woman that ever was seen. She had two daughters of her own, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. The gentleman had also a young daughter, of rare goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world. War for the overworld - underlord edition upgrade download for mac.
The wedding was scarcely over, when the stepmother's bad temper began to show itself. She could not bear the goodness of this young girl, because it made her own daughters appear the more odious. The stepmother gave her the meanest work in the house to do; she had to scour the dishes, tables, etc., and to scrub the floors and clean out the bedrooms. The poor girl had to sleep in the garret, upon a wretched straw bed, while her sisters lay in fine rooms with inlaid floors, upon beds of the very newest fashion, and where they had looking-glasses so large that they might see themselves at their full length. The poor girl bore all patiently, and dared not complain to her father, who would have scolded her if she had done so, for his wife governed him entirely.
When she had done her work, she used to go into the chimney corner, and sit down among the cinders, hence she was called Cinderwench. The younger sister of the two, who was not so rude and uncivil as the elder, called her Cinderella. However, Cinderella, in spite of her mean apparel, was a hundred times more handsome than her sisters, though they were always richly dressed …
My husband is a computer geek. My girls, evidently, have inherited the computer-geek gene, as they love all things related to the computer. Of course, then, they were excited to hear that we'd be reviewing the Tiny Planets website, an award-winning online community based on space exploration, as part of the TOS review crew.I first reviewed the website, and decided that it was better suited for my 8-yo than my 10-yo. The first day I let Puddin' play on it, she was just a tiny bit excited that she'd have something to review that was 'just hers' that she wouldn't have to share with her older sister:
The main premise of the website is that Bing and Bong (the main characters) go on various adventures to protect the universe and to teach kids social responsibility and to take care of our own planet. There are several parts to Tiny Planets for kids to explore.
Tiny Planets TV includes lots of television episodes which were co-created with Sesame Workshop and which emphasize science education and early learning.
Tiny Planets Fun in Bong's Corner includes puzzle games, comics and coloring books.
Tiny Planets Books includes books for younger children with the popular characters Bing and Bong.
Tiny Planets Learningis for parents, educators and homeschoolers and includes lesson plans and science experiments.

Tales Of The Tiny Planet For Mac Osx
And that's not all - this website contains so much content it can't be described - it has to be experienced by your young space-lover!
You can find more general information about the website and its background at the Parents page.
You must have a parent account to set up 'cadet' accounts for your children. Much of the site is free, but the parent account allows you to purchase 'keys' which will unlock even more content. I found the price for the keys to be very reasonable - 10 keys for $1.95, 25 keys for $3.95, 85 keys for $9.95, 250 for $25.95, or 600 for $49.95. I also liked that the website gives you a choice of cadet names so that no inappropriate names can be chosen by children. Also, the website is ad-free.
Puddin was immediately engaged in the website - I had to do very little to help her figure out how to maneuver through the website and play the games - and before I knew it she had befriended lots of other 'cadets'. I'll admit I found it hard to maneuver through the games - guess that shows how technologically advanced today's kids are.
The first day I allowed her to play for a couple hours, and she's asked to play again frequently since. I think the educational value is better suited for younger children (even though the website states it's appropriate for ages 4-12), but that may be because Puddin' has always been intensely interested in space and has been able to name the planets, in order, since she was about 3. (One of the continuing arguments in our household is whether or not Pluto is a planet.) Hence, the space games on this website were right up her alley.
She *loved* the TV shows, especially that gadget-loaded furry white couch (you have to see it to understand!). But her favorite part of the website was in the My Tiny Planets area where you can adopt your own planet to name and take care of, including choosing atmosphere, landscape, etc. Pretty cool.
Puddin's only complaint was that our computer evidently isn't fast enough, as she got the 'Loading' screen quite a bit.
Now that I've seen how much Puddin' enjoys the website, I'll probably also allow Punkin' (the 10-yo) to play. While I think the educational content is a bit low for their ages, it's still a very enjoyable website and much better than many of the other websites out there geared toward kids.
One button controls everything - Think that it's simple? Tales of the Tiny Planet ($1.99) by Pixelsplit is a one-touch physics puzzle game that is reminiscent of the classic Rolando games that were once popular many years ago. If you enjoyed other games.
