My daughter can't get enough of this book. She loves Dumbo and is trying to read it to herself.

In this book, the crows give Dumbo the feather, and he flies with it...The end! The book completely skips over Dumbo realizing he DID NOT need the feather to fly. So we miss maybe the actually significant points of the movie: Dumbo can do whatever he puts his mind to, and realizes that his big ears are an asset and not a liability. The little Golden Book version does not make this mistake.

You know this book is going to be good because it's Disney! This book is a great tale of a baby elephant growing up. Dumbo was unliked from the minute he was born because he was born with very large ears. Dumbo's mother was owned by a circus, Dumbo was born to be a circus animal. The day that Dumbo was in his first parade he was made fun of by the audience as he closely followed his mother. When Jumbo, Dumbo's mother, heard this she became furious and rambled into an outrage. The circus workers had to lock Jumbo up by demand of the ringmaster. The story is about an elephant finding a friend, his courage, and working toward his goal. This story will touch your heart in the deepest way possible. I recommend this book to anyone with and open mind and an open soul!
