Beauty and the Beast

Read ARC. LOVE! Want a real copy to add to our collection. Review to come.

Today has been a miserable pregnancy migraine day. But the light point was when my newly eight-year-old daughter came to me and asked if I would read her this book. It is part of the mythology study in our Memoria Press Simply Classical Level 4 Curriculum (ages 8-11). I still am reading from an advanced reader copy, but it is so gorgeous and I definitely hope to add a real copy to our shelf one day. This is perhaps my favorite picture book variation of the Beauty & the Beast fable and the K.Y. Craft illustrations are full of mystery and beauty to admire. We will be reading this again several times over the next few weeks as we go in-depth with discussion, vocabulary, and more.

Thanks to HarperCollins for the ARC so many years ago that is still dear and special to my heart.
