librarianlayla 's review for:
Beauty and the Beast: A Discover Graphics Fairy Tale
by Jessica Gunderson
I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
3/3.5 out of 5.
I think the idea surrounding these graphic novel versions of classic tales is really good!
I do wish though that it had been longer or at least had contained more dialogue to really get a feel for the characters.
The story doesn't actually stay true to Beauty and the Beast, its a mash up of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast.
I really liked that there are questions and discussion points at the back for young readers/aspiring writers to really think about the characters, their motivations and the story itself. But again as there wasn't alot of detail, I feel it will be hard for readers to dissect.
The illustrations are beautiful though.
