5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes a book can make me happy or sad!!!!!!!!!!, November 29, 2002

A Kid's Review

I like this book called "Disney's Beauty & The Beast" by adaptor Rita Balducci & illustrated by John Kurtz & Jose Cardona.

Gaston the hunter wants to marry Belle but, she doesn't like him.

When Belle & Maurice are happy to be together again, then their joy did no last long, when a crowd of villagers appeared. They were led by the wicked evil hunter, Gaston.
"Your father is crazy," he told Belle. "He said you were the prisoner of a wild beast. Crazy folk should be put away. But I won't have him locked up if you will marry me."
"But there really is a beast!" Belle cried. "Look in this mirror & you'll see!"

After Gaston sees the Beast in his mirror, he & some villagers set off to kill the Beast.
Gaston finds the Beast in his castle & challenged him to a fight.
Then Gaston pulls out a knife & stabbs the Beast in the back, & the Beast roared & as they struggled, Gaston slips & falls from the Castle roof to his death & it makes me sad.

Then later Belle rushes to the Beast. He had been mortally wounded in the fight.
The last rose petal was about to fall. "You can't die!" Belle cries. "I love you!"

Then the Beast turns into a prince & the prince & Belle dance & the spell is broken.

This book reminds me of The Indian in the Cupboard: Omri's Scrapbook.
