    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Beauty and the Beast
    Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    I am incredulous that such a consistently wonderful artist, who has brought so much pleasure to children and the people who read to or with them, has apparently never won the coveted Caldecott Award. In this lovely volume, she again produces a gorgeous work filled with charming detail. The text is a version of this folk tale with which I was not familiar, and I enjoyed reading it, as I am sure youngsters will. I found it less frightening than some other accounts of what transpired between Beauty and her Beast. Enthusiastically recommended.

    This book is gorgeous and has some interesting twists for those who are most familiar with the Disney version. My four-year-old daughter loves it and we are big fans of Jan Brett's beautifully illustrated children's stories, anyway.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nice alternative to Disney version
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales and this particular book is a nice alternative to the Disney version. I also appreciate that the beast isn't especially "scary" and looks more like an animal rather than a mutant. It's a children book that I actually enjoy reading with my girls. And although there is a lot of text on each page, both my 2 YO and my 4 YO are able to maintain interest--mainly because of the beautiful illustrations.

    The illustrations in this book are just beautiful and there is one on every page. Costuming is historically correct and they are beautifully rendered. The text is quite simplistic though and definitely for the younger child 5 to 8. Read it in 15 minutes of less.

    Bought it for the grandchildren and they just loved it. The story was written in a way that was easy to understand and the illustrations were beautiful. It was appropriate for ages 3-7.
