One of the Best,

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast (Carolrhoda Picture Books) (Hardcover)
I've loved the story of Beauty and the Beast all my life, and of the 30+ versions that I own, this is one of the best. While it is less traditional in style than others, the prose is incomparably beautiful and includes details, and a pivotal exchange between the title characters, that bring home the oldest moral of this story: beauty comes from within.

I loved it,
This review is from: Beauty and the Beast (Carolrhoda Picture Books) (Hardcover)
It's so cute and magical. I like that Beauty isn't ever really worried about how the Beast looks. And the scene when they talk at dinner is so sweet. Definitely recommend this.

A beautiful story, exquisitely illustrated.,

This review is from: Beauty and the Beast (Paperback)
This is my favourite version of the classic Beauty and the Beast fable. Beautifully written with a gentle but strong and truthful Beauty. No smell of burning martyr in this version. The illustrations are absolutely exquisite, full of colour and heightened realism.
The only sadness for me is that, as always, Beast eventually turns into the standard handsome prince. By the end of the story I, like Beauty, love Beast just as he is and don't welcome any change in his appearance. A very special book. |
