About Beauty and the Very Beastly Beast by Mark Sperring

Beauty and the Very Beastly Beast retells the classic Beauty and the Beast story with extra humour, bravery, and picture-book charm. Beauty leaves her darling Popsey and beloved sisters behind to live with the dreaded Beast, a creature with terrifying horns and even scarier table manners.

At first, the Beast seems frightening and impossible to like. He looks scary, behaves badly, and appears very beastly indeed. But as Beauty spends more time with him, she begins to discover that there may be more to the Beast than his appearance and manners suggest.
