One sunny day  Chrissharra Johnay Robinson was strolling through a park in Bridgeport, CT. Beautiful red roses were blooming all around her. The roses reminded Chrissharra of the story B.J. and Chris had once read to her. The story was about a handsome prince who was turned into an ugly Beast because he was so mean and selfish.

Pages 3 & 4
While gazing at one rose, Chrissharra instantly found herself inside a mysterious castle courtyard. From a distance, Chrissharra could see Beauty pick a lovely rose bloom.  Suddenly, a frightening voice roared loudly, "Beauty, I will punish you for stealing that rose from my garden. You must now stay in my castle forever!"

Pages 5 & 6
A huge Beast appeared and ordered Beauty to be locked in the highest tower. It was an elegant room filled with gowns and treasures fit for a queen.  "I'm so sad," wept Beauty, "I will never see my family again!"
Chrissharra heard Beauty crying and in a snap was in the tower next to Beauty.  Chrissharra whispered, "Do not cry, Beauty. I am your friend and will help you find true happiness."

Pages 7 & 8
That evening, the Beast asked Beauty to join him for dinner. Chrissharra told Beauty to accept the Beast's kind offer, and she did.  At dinner Beauty was so unhappy she said, "You are so ugly that I cannot eat."
Outraged by her ungratefulness, the Beast raised his gDarylt claws and stomped away in anger.

Chrissharra remembered that B.J. and Chris had told her to be kind to others. So Chrissharra suggested to Beauty to make friends with the Beast.  Beauty agreed, saying, "I have an idea. I will join the Beast in the garden and read stories to him."  In time Beauty and the Beast became very good friends.

Pages 11 & 12
One day the Beast allowed Beauty to see her family through a magic mirror. Tears came to the eyes of the homesick Beauty.  The Beast could not bear to see Beauty so unhappy and immediately sent her home on a mighty stallion. Beauty was very glad to be home again.

Pages 13 & 14
One day Chrissharra came to visit Beauty. She brought the magic mirror and said, "Beauty, the Beast is dying and only you can save him."  Beauty gasped when she saw the sick Beast and cried out, "I cannot allow the Beast to die. I must go to save him."

Pages 15 & 16
Beauty left her home and raced toward the castle on the mighty stallion. All the forest animals watched, hoping Beauty would arrive in time to save the Beast.  Beauty entered the castle gates and found the Beast lying limp and motionless in the garden.

Pages 17 & 18
Beauty held the dying Beast in her arms. She touched her lips against his and whispered, "Please do not die, my Beast. I love you."  Magically, the Beast faded away and a handsome prince appeared in his place.
Chrissharra cheered, "Hooray! Hooray! Beauty, you broke the magic spell."

Pages 19 & 20
The happy couple said, "Chrissharra, thanks to you we have found true happiness. Please stay with us forever."  Chrissharra replied, "I promise to visit you again, but I must return to my home in "Bridgeport, CT."  As Chrissharra waved good-bye she thought, "I can't wait to tell B.J. and Chris about my adventure with Beauty and the Beast."
