5.0 out of 5 stars What a bargain, and beautiful, too!, June 3, 2001

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

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for the younger set, March 11, 2002

By	jodienut (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews

My 3 yr old absolutely loves this book. She has gotten hours of enjoyment from studying the pictures. Take it on the road, into the bathroom, to Grandma's, anywhere... it'll keep them occupied. She loves Disney movies, and this lets her feed her appetite for them without turning on the TV. The stories gloss over the scary parts, so there is no mention of what happened to Bambi's mom. (We will not be watching that one anytime soon!) The book's missing some things my daughter would like to see, such as Tarzan, Mulan, Robin Hood and Dumbo. However, it's got pretty good coverage of the Disney collection. It's a good read, too. In general, the stories are well-written and not too long. A lot of detail is missing, which is what makes this more suitable for younger children. All in all, a good buy!
