(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kinuko Y. Craft. This lengthy text is a loose retelling of Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont's version of the classic fairy tale, first published in France in 1756. It is set with large initial letters on most verso pages to give the feeling of an antique volume. Presented in full pages and spreads, the sumptuous, fantastical oil-over-watercolor paintings emphasize Beauty, not the Beast.
