My 3 1/2 year old son enjoys this book, and I'll admit that the illustrations are great, but I find the text of this book lacking. For example on page 40, the text reads: "I'm supposed to be played with," he decided"--is this even correct grammar? The choppiness of the text, lack of flow, and overuse of exclamation points makes the story a disappointment to read.

My 2 1/2 year old son loves this book and I think most children familiar with the movie will because it presents familiar characters and situations. But it feels *so* incredibly tossed off! The writing is slapdash, lackluster and just pathetically bad. Good storytelling is more than just hitting the high notes of a film -- if you're going to bother making a book, it should read well *as a book*. This book lacks the heart and soul that actually "animates" the movie.

My one year old son loves Toy Story, especially Woody. His face lights up at the sight of him and this book has wonderful color pictures that keeps him interested when I read it to him. It follows the movie very well and is his favorite night-time read. It is also broken down into chapters so you don't have to read it all in one sitting. Thank goodness for this book and I can only wait for the movie!

The pictures are beatiful and big!. My 2 year old loves it. She takes it every where she goes!

The story is incomplete and confusing. There are considerable gaps without a parent, adult or smart kid adding additional explanations as the story goes along. If you haven't seen the film you would find yourself scratching your head. Shame on Pixar and Disney for allowing such a poorly written book to be published. If your kid doesn't read, the pictures, frames right out of the cartoon, are great. (The two stars are for the pictures.) But, where were the editors? Is the assumption that kids don't read anyway, so who's going to notice? Well anyway, here's to the illiterates: the one's who call themselves editors and the one's they are cultivating.

My daugther is in loe with this booh.Good diagram,picture.This was a beautifull gift to her

I am buying all the Disney Read-Aloud Story books for my sons. I have not been disappointed in any except this one. There is not enough story in the writing. Many details from the movie are left out. I think this might be due to the fact that they used a very large and bold typeface. Or is this a "who-came-first-the-chicken-or-the-egg" question.

I gave it 3 stars because the visuals are nice. I think they are taken directly from the film.

I bought this book hoping to please my child's interest in Toy Story. I was not dissappointed. With a few chapters to choose from, a parent can definitely get their money's worth out of this book.

I liked this book. I think this is one of the best books I've read. I really liked the character Woody and Buzz. I think in Toy Story 1 that Woody was trying to be better than Buzz, but I think this adventure was better.
