When Beauty reads this letter from her father, she bravely rides to the Beast`s enchanted castle in his place. The Beast is truly terrifying, but, as Beauty soon realizes, nothing is quite as it seems. This book comes with a CD that brings the story to life through lively music and superbly characterized readings. A listenalong version is followed by a readalong version with prompts for page turns. Retold by Louie Stowell.
