A good collection of stories from the universes of various classic Disney movies。 They're not super well-written and they range in how interesting they are, but it's something fun to read with my daughter。It kind of surprised me that The Lion King and Lilo & Stitch are now considered "classic。" I feel so old。Also, I noticed that the trauma of parental death/separation has been downplayed。 The stories from Bambi and The Lion King occur pre-trauma and the Dumbo story happens after he's been reunit A good collection of stories from the universes of various classic Disney movies。 They're not super well-written and they range in how interesting they are, but it's something fun to read with my daughter。It kind of surprised me that The Lion King and Lilo & Stitch are now considered "classic。" I feel so old。Also, I noticed that the trauma of parental death/separation has been downplayed。 The stories from Bambi and The Lion King occur pre-trauma and the Dumbo story happens after he's been reunited with his mother。 So, pretty tame compared to some of the films themselves。 I wasn't sure if the Peter Pan story about Captain Hook's shadow would scare Lily, but she seemed to be okay with it。 。。。more
Charles,
Another good 5-minute story collection with great artwork for bedtime with your little one。 My son loves "Captain Hook's Shadow" the most, but the majority of these stories are fun for a couple of stories at bedtime。 Another good 5-minute story collection with great artwork for bedtime with your little one。 My son loves "Captain Hook's Shadow" the most, but the majority of these stories are fun for a couple of stories at bedtime。 。。。more

This book is the home to many of my childhood favorites! I appreciate how each story is shared with nice sized text for early readers。 I also appreciate the photos included for those that just listen along。 We read this during storytime over a month and my children enjoyed it。 I also shared it with our local children's book club。 I recommend this for homes with children 11 and under。 I also think this would be a great opportunity for grandparents to read to your children because they'll recogniz This book is the home to many of my childhood favorites!

Asho,
L got this book for Christmas and was very happy with the gift。 Tonight we read our first story from it, the story about Dumbo and his mother stuck in the snow (so, clearly these stories are "classic" in the sense that they feature classic characters but not at all classic in their plots)。 I enjoy this book primarily because each story really is just about five minutes long, so one or two are perfect for bedtime。 L said "Can we read another one? They're just so fun!" So for her it's a hit。 L got this book for Christmas and was very happy with the gift。 Tonight we read our first story from it, the story about Dumbo and his mother stuck in the snow (so, clearly these stories are "classic" in the sense that they feature classic characters but not at all classic in their plots)。 I enjoy this book primarily because each story really is just about five minutes long, so one or two are perfect for bedtime。 L said "Can we read another one?
