4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Collection, March 17, 2008

This review is from: The Little Mermaid (Piano-Vocal) (Paperback)

I bought this book as a present for my friends 21st birthday... along with a gigantic bottle of Rum.

Let's just say, she liked the vocal selections more.

This book is actually wonderful. I expected a bad collection, but instead I was given a good collection of songs with BEAUTIFUL full color pictures. If I could post the pictures online, I would. They are stunning. Directly from the film, the pictures steal the book. If you are not into singing, but still have it hard for The Little Mermaid, then buy this book just for the pictures. It's worth it.

Wow. It's worth it.

As for the songs themselves, you'd expect more of a piano line from one of Disney's greatest treasures. I mean, it's an accompaniment, but it's not a full orchestration. Remember that when buying Disney product vocal selections: IT'S NOT LIKE THE MOVIE. It's a harmony line with some fun syncopation.

It was a good buy all in all.

Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Little Mermaid (Disney/Book and Cassette), December 26, 1999

By 

Joanne M. Lynch (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Little Mermaid (Disney/Book and Cassette) (Paperback)

This the Disney story about Arial, the little mermaid & all her odd assortment of friends that live with her in the sea. My grand-daughter Britanie, is 4 years old & just loves this book/ tape so much that she wore it out. I love the idea that the cassettes follow the words in the book so the children following the words read aloud, start to recognize words that they hear. I am in the process of trying to purchase her another set. This is only thing she asked me to get again her for Christmas.

This review is from: Little Mermaid, Disney's The (Paperback)

I thought that this book would be great for children. It has many good fantasy adventures for little kids and I think that you should read it to your kids or just read it on your own time.
