Description

In this retelling of the classic fairy tale, Belle arrives at the Beast's castle where the enchanted objects hope she might be the one to break the spell that has transformed the Beast and his household. Over time, Belle and the Beast form a connection as the Beast learns the true meaning of love and what it means to be loved in return. The story is set in a magical castle filled with enchanted objects and includes mild violence.

Quick Summary

The talking castle objects add a magical twist that makes this classic tale feel fresh and interactive for young readers. Kids will be enchanted by the quirky enchanted objects who become Belle's secret allies, and they'll eagerly watch the Beast's grumpy exterior melt away as he learns to be kind. If your kid loves "The Princess in Black" or enjoys princess stories with humor and heart, they'll be swept away by this version of Beauty and the Beast. Perfect for kids in grades 1-3 (ages 6-8) who are ready for chapter books but still love fairy tale magic.
