Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book

We bought this book after purchasing a greeting card by Pamela Silin-Palmer for our Aunt. She loved the card so much that we thought she would love the book even more. Once we recieved the book we read the whole thing and it is simply stunning. The story is great and you could spend hours just looking at the beautifully detailed pages. This is a great purchase for a rabbit lover!!

Beautiful Book for children or adults!

I am 27 years old and I collect "Beauty and the Beast" books, and have about 60 books in my collection. It is my favorite fairy tale, and the story is timeless. I love to see it told in all different ways, especially with wonderful illustrations like these. I don't have any children, but will get this for my godchildren! "Bunny and the Beast" is my most recent acquisition, and it's an outstanding addition to my collection. I love it!

Beautifully Illustrated

This is not only a great childrens book but also a beautifully illustrated book for bull terrier collectors! The illustrations of the bull terrier are true to form and will add to any collectors library.

Fantastical!

Okay, so I just checked this out from the library yesterday and my kids (two daughters, ages 4 & 6) were fighting over it! I don't usually do this so soon, but I ran out... and immediately bought a copy of it for my personal (keepsake) bookshelf. These honestly have to be the best illlustrations I've ever seen in a book -- period! Even my husband leafed through it and said, "Oh, you've got to BUY this book -- as soon as possible!" :) I enjoyed the story and pictures as much as my children did. This is bound to become a new "classic". My 6 y/o is an aspiring author and illustrator and seeing this book really inspired her to continue her efforts. Great book! Someone please give these ladies a medal. This is the kind of stuff kids should grow up on. Thank you Molly Coxe for a super re-telling of a classic and Pamela Silin-Palmer for your glorious artwork! :)

The most luscious picture book to ever grace before my eyes

This is the most beautiful and amazing picture book I have ever seen. The pictures are so vibrant and enchanting. Each portion of text is border by an array of scrumptious roses. The art work in this book is beyond words. I wish I could see more fairy tale creations by this illustrator in the future!
