Description

Every story has two sides - even famous fairy tales! Get the real truth about "Beauty and the Beast". Inside every beast beats the heart of an actor - or so the Beast would have you believe!

It is a fun read that flips what you know of the fairy tale on its ear! It is a dual purpose title: can be enjoyed purely for the story or used to explore the concept of "point of view". It features light-hearted full-colour original art. It is appealing for both boys and girls. It can encourage discussion: whose side of the story do you believe and why

Reviews
