Review from 2/2012
Just as adorable as the movie...but even better! Even though this would be the abridged version of the story/actual book I guess..I still enjoyed it...It was, of course, a little different than the Disney movie but I still really enjoyed them both equally.

This is one story, whatever the form (book or movie), that a lesson can be learned in it all...

That a prince isn't going to come up on a white horse, kiss you, and save the day...or slip a slipper on your foot and ride off into the sunset with you...

This story allows love to develop despite the obstacles in the way. Or how someone may or may not look. And one of the best things about this story, she loves to read! She not only had a beautiful face, she had a beautiful soul/spirit about her. On both ends of looks, what some may think is attractive and others may think is unattractive....Never judge a book by its cover...You may be missing out on a wonderful, life-long love and/or friendship
