What is Beauty and the very beastly beast about?

Beauty is brave enough to leave her beloved Popsey and sisters behind and move in with the Beast. But living in his castle is not quite what she expected. The Beast has enormous horns, a fearsome roar and dreadful table manners. As Beauty gets to know him, she begins to wonder whether he is truly as beastly as he seems. This lively, funny retelling of Beauty and the Beast celebrates courage, kindness and looking beyond appearances.
