4.0 out of 5 stars
3.5* - some wonderful Christmas-themed stories featuring beloved Disney characters, December 20, 2009
This review is from: Disney Christmas Storybook Collection (Disney Storybook Collections) (Hardcover)
My preschooler and I both enjoyed reading these Christmas-themed stories featuring beloved Disney characters, but like a previous reviewer has mentioned, some of the illustrations are not up to standard. These illustrations are not clear (with a faded like appearance), lack definition, and sharpness. In contrast, some others are beautiful to look at - with the image quality appearing clear and sharp. The stories are generally quite well-written and manage to integrate the Christmas theme beautifully. The stories in this collection are:
A Toy Christmas from Toy Story
Christmas Under The Sea from The Little Mermaid
Mickey's Christmas Carol from Mickey Mouse
One Cool Yule from The Aristocats
The Sweetest Christmas from Winnie the Pooh
The Wonderful Winter Tree from Bambi
A Christmas to Remember from Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs
The Best Christmas from Dumbo
Christmas Laughs from Monsters, Inc
A Merry Christmas for Mice from Cinderella
A Big Blue Christmas from Finding Nemo
Lady's Christmas Surprise from Lady and the Tramp
The Enchanted Christmas from Beauty And The Beast
Flik's Christmas Invention from A Bug's Life
Christmas for Everyone from Robin Hood
The Perfect Gift from Pinocchio
A Gift for Wall-E from WALL-E
The Puppies' First Christmas from 101 Dalmatians
On the whole - value for money collection of Christmas-inspired stories featuring familiar and beloved Disney characters. Recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Christmas tradition no matter what, December 3, 2009
This review is from: Disney Christmas Storybook Collection (Disney Storybook Collections) (Hardcover)
I'm rating this storybook three stars because of the great integration between classic Disney holiday stories and original stories featuring favorite Disney characters. Sadly aside from the compilation of stories and the fact that this book is hardcover, that's where the comparison ends between this edition and other Disney story collections. The main thing that threw me off was the fact that NONE of the illustrations are cohesive. It's obvious that some drawings were 3rd and 4th rate. Then, with a new story, the pictures were beautiful and full of true color as should be expected from a name like Disney. Thankfully my preschooler is just happy having another book to choose from for storytime. Although she too has commented on how some characters look "weird" in the book.
