Beauty and the Beast Big Golden Book (Disney Beauty and the Beast) Hardcover – Picture Book, January 3, 2017

Very quick read for a bedtime book. Large pages and colorful pictures from the animated movie. Granddaughter loved it.

I was 9 years old when the Disney animated version of Beauty and the Beast came out in 1991. I remember loving the movie and, now that I have kids of my own, I wanted them to know some of the Disney films I grew up with. With the upcoming release of the new Beauty and the Beast movie, I decided to watch the animated version again and felt it would be good for my kids to see it as well. They liked it so I decided to buy them the book that goes with the story. Personally, I'm a fan of the Big Golden Book series because they are longer, so they are good bedtime stories for us. My twins are now four and can tolerate sitting still for stories more so this book seemed like the best option for our family.This BGB version of Beauty and the Beast is great because it's detailed enough to capture the main points of the movie without getting too long. The colorful, vibrant pictures look just like the movie and each set of pages has several paragraphs of the story. Like all of the books in the BGB series, this book has a hardcover, glossy, colorful pages, and gold spine. It measures just under 9 inches by 11 inches and will fit in well with any other BGB you may have. This story has 40 pages in the actual story plus a couple extra pages. It typically takes us about 15 minutes, give or take a few, to read the story, which is great for a bedtime story or anytime during the day!From a mom's perspective, I love this book and feel it covers the story well. My kids enjoyed the story as well. They like looking at the pictures and ask questions about the story. If you want a Beauty and the Beast story for a child, I highly recommend this one. I love the more in-depth version of the story the BGB offer and these work out perfectly for us. We read them before bedtime and throughout the day!

Wonderful book well made

I love reading books as a child and now I love reading books as adult. I love the beautiful colors and pictures. The package came out perfectly. The book is in perfect condition. I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend buying this book. It's a great read.

I absolutely love these Big Golden Books. We have several of them. They're well written, thorough, well made and beautifully illustrated. Beauty and the Beast is no exception!Both of my kids, ages 4 and 6, love to sit down and read these long stories. The book truly tells the entirety of the movie. This isn't a quick 5 minute read, but it's a great book to snuggle on the couch and read for 10-15 minutes!The illustrations are exceptional and come straight from the movie. The book is well made with quality pages and binding.I can't recommend these books highly enough. Beauty and the Beast holds a special place in my heart since it was my favorite movie from childhood. I was so excited when they decided to make the story into one of the BGBs!

Me agrada

My daughter was in a community theatre production of Beauty and the Beast and we used these as director gifts. The cast signed throughout the book and the directors both loved them. It is nice that they are larger than a regular Golden Book and the pictures are very vivid in color.

exactly how i remembered it from my childhood
