Five minute read that had cheesy dialogue and rushes through the story.
I like fairy tales and am a huge Disney fan, but I didn't like this really at all. The dialogue and story felt rushed. There was little to no character development because the story was crammed into 25ish pages
This is a very short retelling of the Beauty and the Beast. This is a very simplified version of the fairy tale, but fairly accurate with the original.
Having said that, though that is all the book does, tell a very quick version of the story, but with beautiful pictures, so that sort of makes up for the lack of adding anything to the story.

However, I do like the prompts in the back that encourage you to think up how you would have written this story differently.
Thanks to Netgalley for making tis book available for an honest review.
A very short (the actual story takes up like 20 pages) and simple telling of Beauty and the Beast. It's aimed at young children so it doesn't do anything to really expand the tale or add it's own twist. The art is very nice, cute, and simple as well. Not much else to say about it. Great for kids to read and keep them entertained when they get bored of their other books.
Such a sweet version of Beauty and the Beast! This is a perfect beginner graphic novel with beautiful illustrations.
This is a pretty straight-forward retelling of the Beauty & The Beast story told in graphic novel format. It is geared toward beginning readers, with a guide in the front showing how to read a graphic novel and discussion prompts in the back to help little ones with reading comprehension. A good book to help with teach reading/reading comprehension.
I received a free e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
This graphic novel is a very simplistic version of Beauty and The Beast. Its only about 20 pages long, similar to those picture books you find at the mall but with beautiful ilustrations. The dialogue is very simple and the author does not take any creative liberties. Its a perfect book for little kids who are either starting to learn english or to enjoy graphic novels (maybe both).
As a reader i didn't enjoy it much, but as an english teacher i can see its potencial towards kids.
It was nice to see that at the beginning of the book there was directions on how you are supposed to read the illustrations. It was a quick read. A bit of a twist on the original Beauty and the Beast. This was enjoyable. Would be nice if there was little bit more to the story but all in all you got the understanding of what was going on and wasn't hard to follow along.
This was a very quick Obviously read. But it was cute and the illustration was really pretty. Just a little more story to it is at that it could use.
A bit simplistic as a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story. Extra points for its potential use as a reading and writing prompt in teaching younger audiences.
This is a wonderfully done retelling of a classic book! I loved the illustrations, and I also loved that they used an African American in the story as beauty!
This is a super cute graphic novel, aimed at young kids, telling the story of the Beauty and the Beast. Personally, I don't think it matters how old I get, this story will always have a place in my heart.
The illustrations were stunning, we had a diverse set of characters for such a short story, and it even had instructions in the back on how to make your own crepe roses! How cute is that?!
