She is learning to revise her own writings in school. I thought this book could help show her a different view to an old story. An added bonus is it is charming. Here is an example,"The tadpole was as green as the slime in a vernal pond, and the bumps on her skin had bumps of their own. The king and queen decided to call her Beauty, as she was the most beautiful thing they had ever seen." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1031298?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
