Illustrated by
Pamela Silin-Palmer.
Except for the fact that Beauty is a rabbit and Beast is a bull terrier--details that don't really affect the story much--this picture book is a fairly traditional version of the well-known tale. Silin-Palmer's romantic illustrations fill the pages with a riot of flowers and luxurious patterns, which make Bunny's humble cottage seem just as opulent as the Beast's ornate castle.
