![]() ![]() But there were no books specifically about a girl who gets angry and knows how to calm herself down. And of course Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is about a boy who is being sent to his room for being "wild" and deals with his anger by playing with imaginary monsters. There was Alexander's Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day, by Judith Viorst, also a great story about how some days are indeed pretty horrible. There was Bootsie Barker Bites, by Barbara Bottner, which was more about dealing with fear. There was Mean Soup, by Betsy Everitt, which was delightful, about a girl whose Mom helps her blow her "mean" feelings into a delicious soup they make together. Once I began doing the pictures, I also began to look in the library and bookstores for similar books, and there just did not seem to be any books about a little girl who gets angry and deals with it in a helpful way. The editor at Blue Sky Press, Bonnie Verburg, liked the idea a lot, especially as she had a two-year-old at the time, but we revised the text again and again and again, up until the book was printed.

And I’ll be darned if all of the beats weren’t there in just about every novel we read. The Middle Grade Lunch Break group read Save the Cat!, and for several months afterwards, as an exercise, we applied the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet to the middle grade novels that we were reading. Zootopia, for example, is a model Save the Cat! movie: it has a strong theme, shows good character growth for all of the characters, not just the main character, and hits all of the plot points Snyder describes.īut the beat sheet isn’t just for movies. It’s especially easy to see in Disney and Pixar films, as well as other kids’ movies. Many movies do use the beat sheet, created by Blake Snyder.

A wise fairy also visited her in her in dreams.Ĥ. As this version is from 1740, that’s a pretty cool concept. Even better, she is able to watch any theatrical performance of her choice through a magic mirror. She also dreams every night of a dashing prince (who is actually the Beast). A highlight of Villeneuve’s version include Beauty chatting with birds. In it, Beauty is the daughter of a king and a wicked fairy – the very same fairy who turns the prince into a dumb and pitiful Beast.ģ. Villeneuve’s telling is over one hundred pages long.
