At the Zoo

Our Beauty and the Beast Shape Book is a simple retelling of the classic, and ever-popular, fairy tale, accompanied by lovely illustrations from Rene Cloke.

In this version of the story Beast most closely resembles a bull or donkey, and thus is not very menacing. Beauty is lovely, and everyone wears beautiful, vibrantly colored clothes in the Beast’s grand castle. These elements add up to an pleasing whole, and a delightful introduction to this story for early readers.
