From the Broadway stage to the silver screen, this timeless fairy tale continues to enchant millions. The story of a beautiful young woman's love for a cursed prince is here retold for beginning and reluctant readers.
Easy books can be pretty lousy, any bibliophiliac parent of an emergent reader knows. This one is not. You can see the archetypal and societal themes. You get the French details. The full emotional value of the story comes through. This is one of the better versions of Beauty and the Beast out there.
