Beauty and the Beast

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gary Blythe. Paired with a traditional retelling of the famous story, Blythe's contemporary-looking artwork seems out of place, although the black-and-white sketches and large color illustrations are technically proficient and interesting in design. The plot does not always flow smoothly, but McCaughrean provides some lovely descriptions of the Beast's palace.
