5.0 out of 5 stars a good retelling of a classic favorite, January 6, 2005

This review is from: Walt Disney's Cinderella (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading) (Hardcover)

This book created by Walt Disney is a simplified version of Disney's animated movie's plot, with very minor differences. As the book is much shorter than the movie a lot of detail is lost, but it is still a good story that is told pretty well. The sentences are short and slightly choppy, something that seems to be universal in Disney's books from the early 1970's.

The illustrations are very similar to the animation, just slightly simpler and with no depth/shading. The people's faces do a good job in the book, as well as in the movie, of showing the characters feelings through facial expressions. They are bold and colorful, and do a very good job of showing the story.

In short, if you are looking for a companion picture book for Disney's movie, than this is your book. It also stands well on its own, though one or two things may seem slightly random and not quite make sense at first. All in all, this is a good book.

The story of Cinderella is my favorite. When I was little I would watch this movie over and over. The music the plot itself, it was all so breath taking.This is a great book and I hope there are many more like this to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walt Disney's Cinderella, March 25, 2006

This review is from: Walt Disney's Cinderella (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading) (Hardcover)

ISBN 0394925521 - As a kid, the Disney version of this story left me a little baffled. The original story did not have glass slippers - and kids are smart enough to realize glass slippers are kind of dumb!

Still, Disney does a wonderful job when they get their hands on such stories. Movies and books and toys and various merchandise turn a simple story like Cinderella into a goldmine that little ones, especially girls, just have to own their fair share of. It's always worthwhile to buy a copy of a book with a Disney movie tie-in and an added bonus is the chance to share a story you loved as a child with your own children.
