He allows her to visit her former home, but when she doesn't return at the designated time, consequences ensue. This modern retelling of the classic fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast" features more than 100 pages of illustrated action, adventure, and love teach a lesson to look beyond the surface and learn to love what's underneath.
