4.0 out of 5 stars "We Can't Let Them Hurt the Helpless Ones", June 8, 2000

By	Alan Heuer (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews

So says Vincent to Catherine as he enlists her aid in rescuing children from an abusive foster home. Vincent and Catherine work as a team in this one and triumph over the bad guys (as you might expect). I think it works pretty well (contrary to the producers of the series, who reportedly thought this episode among the weakest). There are some nice moments between Vincent and Catherine here, and a little more comic relief than is usual for this series.

In 1998 I conducted a poll among Beauty and the Beast fans asking them to rate the 44 episodes of the first two seasons on a 1-to-10 scale. 31 fans participated. "A Children's Story" finished 31st out of the 44 episodes.

I placed "A Children's Story" 25th in my own personal 1-through-44 rank-ordering of the episodes.
