FOLKTALES AND NURSERY RHYMES

Beauty and the Beast

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sarah Gibb. Fairy-tale aficionados and princess-obsessed kids will all find something to love in this refined retelling. Beauty's sincerity and innocence is nicely contrasted with her sisters' shallowness and greed. Gibb renders many of the illustrations in profile or silhouettes, some in color and some in dramatic black-and-white with color accents. There's lots of rich detail to pore over time and again.
