1.0 out of 5 stars One star for the nice pictures, October 14, 2002

This review is from: Lilo and Stitch Read-Aloud Storybook (Hardcover)

I have had the pleasure of seeing the film upon which this book is based; it is a simply delightful story about an alien refugee which lands on Earth and poses as a little girl's pet to escape his pursuers, causing all sorts of trouble. This book managed to take that plot and turn it into a very bland experience.

Disney's Lilo and Stitch: A Read-aloud Storbook is a prime example of why you should never buy something that was obviously made just for merchandising's sake. Imagine a the script for a children's movie condensed down and simplified into a very tedious play-by-play prose: that is exactly how this storybook reads. I can picture the author rushing to finish in time for the deadline as I read. The best thing that I can say about it is that the illustrations are nice, mainly because they appear to be taken from movie stills.

If you believe that children's books should not only be excellent visually but rich and varied in the use of language as well, there are much better alternatives to this one. I will not be buying any more Disney books for my children.

1.0 out of 5 stars I give this one star only because I have to., December 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lilo and Stitch Read-Aloud Storybook (Hardcover)

While this book had cute pictures, that's about the ONLY thing it had going for it. The book sounded much too mechanical to be enjoyed and it didn't, in any way, capture the true essence of the movie. I don't recommend buying this to read for a small child because it will be a huge disappointment.

5.0 out of 5 stars My #1 Above All My Favorite Books!!!, September 6, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Lilo and Stitch Read-Aloud Storybook (Hardcover)

I have read this book since I was twelve-years-old. Me and my sister, Rhiannon, have read it as a bedtime story, too. The illustrations are beautiful and the book is well-written. Clearly, this is my #1 above all my favorite books!
