This has beautiful artwork with panes on the page with story similar to Jan Brett. There is also a main paige of just artwork. It is beautiful work. I did think this was good, but she basically tells the same story we all know. There is nothing new here, no spin, or any kind of fresh take really.

The artwork here is so gorgeous. Jan’s drawings of peacocks and roses is enough alone to check out this book and look at them. The one mistake I see is that Jan chose to make Beauty blonde - I don’t approve of that decision, but otherwise this is a good rendition. It is closer to the myth that Robin McKinley...
