2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, October 21, 2005
First off, this book is so tiny you can hardly appreciate the artwork. It has a 'pocket story' feel, not the type of book you plan to pass down. The story is classic, most of us know it. It is well-enough written, but of course has a few changes to the original. But what makes this genre of books special is the artwork.

I highly suggest the Mercer version of Beauty and the Beast. It too has some changes to the story, but the writting comes across more magically, not just relaying a story. And the watercolor artwork is very interesting to look at, and the book is an appropriate size to help showcase the artwork. I really love the Mercer book, but figured I'd check this one out too.

Another problem with this little book aside from the tiny pictures is that although Beauty as a redhead is lovely, the beast is a handsome lion. He doesn't look ugly at all, just looks like a lion. But the nature of the story is that she falls in love with the beast that she at first found ugly. It is harder to fall in love with a beast that is not only a beast, but is an ugly beast. The Mercer version shows an uglier and scarier looking beast, which adds to the story. Also, in this little book, I was very surprised to see the prince that the beast turns into at the end, looking straight from 1986 with his mullet and mustache-- yuck! Beauty's own father is ten times better looking! The beast is supposed to turn into a very handsome price, but in this case I'd practically prefer the lion over this guy!

Check out the magical Mercer version-- you won't regret that one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Fairy Tale, April 22, 2004
By Laura Ann Davis (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews
Beauty and the Beast written by Samantha Easton is a true delight. This book is perfect for people of all ages. I believe anyone who reads this book will truly fall in love with it. The illustrations are amazing. Ruth Sanderson is a complete genius. He makes you feel like you are in the story. The content of the story is appropriate for people of all ages. So parents do not be affraid to share it with your small children. This book reminds me of my childhood and waiting for some amazing adventure to happen. You can live your childhood fantasy through this book. I recommend that everyone should read this book and keep passing it down to each generation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, January 4, 2007
This book has absolutely BEAUTIFUL pictures and is nicely written. The only negative things I can say about it is that it is very small and that the beast is much cuter than the actual prince. But I suppose that's a matter of personal taste. =o)
