I have a chance to sit with my daughter and color to my hearts content. The pages are made for practically any medium from crayons and colored pencils to markers. Thick enough paper that markers don't seep through to the next page. For all of you coloring enthusiasts Ruth Hellers books will fit the bill. Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast are cleverly told with magical illustrations and a line of text on each page.
Pictures come alive with the artist's choice of watercolors, markers, crayons, etc.
Many a girl dreams of being a princess. Charles Perrault, a Frenchman, knew this. In 1696, he wrote The Sleeping Beauty, his version of a Scandinavian tale of the 14th century. Sixty years later, Madamne Marie de Beaumont, a Frenchwoman, produced her story of a princess, called Beauty and the Beast. This snowy Christmas Eve in 1862 would be a sad one.
