Great price, great product. Books are paperback, but illustrations are good and they seem sturdy enough. My child loves following along with the story being read, as there is an audible signal to turn each page. Big hit this Christmas! I would recommend this to others, and will be purchasing others in the Disney Read-Along Collection.

My 4 year old daughter loves these books & CD. She can listen to them by herself and they even have the characters voices and some have original songs, too. I highly recommend this item!

They are just the right length stories for the princess fan. My daughter listened and followed along almost every day for a month. Hit the spot for her.

We purchased this read-along set for our three-year-old daughter, and she absolutely loves it. These are probably her favorite stories that we've purchased for her so far.

The collection itself is quite nice - Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty in three separate books and one CD. Currently, only Cinderella is available for individual purchase. The box it came in was a piece of cardboard junk that was oversized and took up more space than it should have. We tossed it and are keeping the books in the same pile as the rest of her read-alongs and the CD in a jewel case of its own.

While it is nice to cut down on the number of discs to keep track of, the 3-in-1 set up is a little hard, because unless I program my daughter's CD player to just play one story, it will play all three, one right after another. Usually, this isn't a big deal - it gives me about 36 minutes of uninterrupted peace - but if we even suggest that she only listen to one of the three, she has an absolute fit. To her, the three stories HAVE to be listened to consecutively.

So, we like the collection, the packaging was pathetic, and the single-disc can create a few problems, but overall it was a very good buy. I would like to see the individual stories offered separately, though, so we could have some choices in what we decide to purchase.

My grandaughter is 3 and loves to read along with the cd. Excellent books. True Disney stories.

Got these three read-along stories for our 3-year-old daughter. She loves them. It's her first read-along and she picked up the concept very quickly. The stories make our 30-minute commutes so much more enjoyable for her. There's one CD and three paper-back books, the voices are nice, pictures are good, it's all easy to understand and very entertaining.

We gave this to our five year-old for her birthday. She absolutely loves it!!! We enjoy reading/listening together! She also enjoys putting the CD in and reading along herself! Excellent B-Day gift!

Once upon a time, before Ariel, Jasmine, and Belle, three Princesses ruled Supreme in the Disney Kingdom:
Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora/Briar Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty). This original, classic Princess Trio is celebrated in a delightful and entertaining Books and CD Box set.

The packaging may be pink (meaning the item is pidgeonholed as a product for "young girls") and the story presentation is brief (again pidgeonholing: as an item for "young readers") but this is actually a treat for fans of "CLASSIC DISNEY"-- fans of all ages. I don't have little girls/children. I purchased this simply because I love "CLASSIC DISNEY"-- and the price is extremely affordable.

I found the box the books and CD came in to be the perfect way to store and care for the books. The box easily fits on to a shelf of my entertainment center; so it should also fit easily on to any bookshelf. The books are 24 page paperbacks, but quite sturdy and nicely illustrated; although the cover illustration for the "SNOW WHITE" book makes Snow White and her Prince look like dorks!!

The three stories are all on one CD. The CD almost fell out of the box when I opened it. I put the CD in a jewel case, and downloaded it into my computer as well to make for easier use.

The stories are brief, (not quite the same as the larger and longer cherished Book and LP Record Series from my own childhood; but I'm still completely enchanted) so certain elements of the Disney plots (the mice making a dress for Cinderella, The Seven Dwarfs Dance Party with Snow White, and the good fairies making a birthday cake for Aurora and cleaning the cottage with magic wands) are eliminated. Still, I was amazed at how well the spirit and the essence of these Disney films is captured on a brief 36 minute CD. True fans will notice happily familiar musical underscoring over the narration of "CINDERELLA" and "SLEEPING BEAUTY." No songs from "SNOW WHITE" are included, but this story features a particularly vigorous alternate musical
underscoring, and is the best of the CD adaptations. However, "SLEEPING BEAUTY" is my favorite Disney fairy tale.

The narration is quite lively and the voice actors for the characters are superb; particularly for "SNOW WHITE." The voice actors are not the same as those in the actual films, but sound so similar that they will certainly evoke plesant memories.

Ilene Woods is heard singing "A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes" from the film Soundtrack of "CINDERELLA", and beautiful soprano Mary Costa sings "Once Upon A Dream" and "I Wonder" from the "SLEEPING BEAUTY" Soundtrack.

We've been listening to this CD for the last 2 years. My daughter never gets tired of listening to it in the car. I just wish there were more stories on the CD :) We'd love to hear all the princess stories. We also enjoy reading the books at night before bed. You can't go wrong with this purchase for the price. It was a great deal!

We bought this at a truck stop in Texas when our family was driving across country for $6 and it is AMAZING! Our daughter is 4 now and has been enjoying these since November. She wants to play it in the car over and over and over again, she never gets tired of them! After a few days however, I'm afraid my husband disagrees lol :) I guess it's a girl thing.
