There is also a lot of information about her family, her background, her interests, schooling, co-stars, etc. Although brief, it is surprisingly thorough, and also includes suggestions for finding additional information about Emma.

It's fabulous

[Erin O'Riordan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a few years old, so it doesn't cover 'Beauty and the Beast,' but it was a fun, quick read, and kids who love Emma Watson will appreciate it. It tells a lot about her intelligence and charity work, which is great. And you learn some personal facts about her, such as, she really doesn't care for flip flops on men.
