This is a beautiful story, precious illustrations. My Mom used to share this quote with us often as I grew up with 9 siblings who often saw things differently:“Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder”.

Thanks for alerting me to the movie--I hadn't known it was coming! With the story arc and scary scenes, it def diverges from the book. I liked them both for different reasons and hope that plenty of children will start with the movie while they're still young enough to appreciate it.
I agree with you!!
