We were going to buy individual books when we noticed this book. What an amazing collection of Disney stories! Twenty-three stories, from classics to more recent Disney tales, include: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Pinocchio, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, 101 Dalmatians, Jungle Book, Aristocats, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Oliver & Company, The Prince and the Pauper, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, Pocahontas, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Mickey and the Beanstalk, and Three Little Pigs.

Each story is about fourteen pages long, with great pictures from the movies on each page.

The book is about 9 inches square, so a bit unwieldy for a child to read sitting, but quite enjoyable if it is spread on a table or held in your lap. The binding is durable and the pages a bit glossy for easy cleanup.

I don't think you can go wrong with this great collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a great diversion for kids addicted to disney videos, January 14, 1999

Our 2 year old son loves this book. We had gone in search of individual disney books to read when he's already had a disney movie that day or when time is just too short for a movie. The pictures are beautiful and it has helped him learn many new words and concepts. We're giving it as baby gifts to several friends and relatives.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like it, but not thrilled, January 2, 2005

I actually do like this book for my 3 year old. The stories are a perfect length for her and the pictures are beautiful. She really enjoys looking at it on her own. But beware of a few things. First of all, Dumbo is pictured on the front cover, so I assumed the story, one of my favorites, would be in the book--it is not. Also, there is so much editing. If you've never heard the stories before, or even if you have, you'll be left feeling a little lost because so much text and pictures are edited out. For example, in Peter Pan so many references are made to the Lost Boys and the crocodile, but no picture is ever shown of either. My daughter, never having read the story before, really wanted to see what they looked like. That is common throughout the book, as is making mention of characters who are never introduced to the reader. It would have been better if they replaced Mickey's Christmas Carol--as Christmas stories are not typically read year round and there are still 2 other mickey stories--with Dumbo since he is on the front page. Even scaling back by one story, maybe The Three Little Pigs (not really a Disney classic) would have allowed for more pictures and required less editing of the other classic stories.
