I feel as if this book gives you another glimpse into the mind of Belle. She uses literary quotes to talk about Gaston, her father, the Beast, even each of the castle members, and Philippe. The art work is beautiful and is made to look as if Belle drew it in. The quotes might be harder for younger readers as they do come from Shakespeare and earlier era of writing, but the summary by Belle about the text does a nice job describing what that quote stands for or talks about. A lovely little addition to anyone's library, and perfect even for adults. The back also gives you a bit of a reading guide and explains why each classic book was picked and why Belle would have liked it.
