The Beauty and the Beast is a fairy tail because...

-some magical things happen

I liked reading this book because this Beauty and the Beast was little different than normal story. I think this book is better than normal book and the pictures were strange but it was fun. If you want to know the end of the story, you can borrow it from the library.
