Disney's Timeless Tales, Vol. 2 - Ugly Duckling/The Wind in the Willows/The Country Cousin/Ferdinand The Bull (Vol. 2)
Some of the most endearing stories the world has ever known are contained here in Walt Disney's TIMELESS TALES VOLUME TWO. You'll fall in love with the title characters in the two Academy Award(R)-winning shorts "Ugly Duckling" and "The Country Cousin" (Best Short Subject, Cartoons, 1939 and 1936) and revel in the hilarious antics of Mr. Toad in "The Wind In The Willows." With dazzling animation, unforgettable music, and time-honored themes about facing responsibilities and liking yourself for who you are, this collection of four stories is a must-have for every child's video collection.
Customer Review: Wind in the Willows
Both of my daughters are in their 20's now, but when they were very young they LOVED "Wind in the Willows." We found the DVD's at Amazon and purchased them for Christmas. Can't wait to see their faces when they unwrap these gifts and are taken back to their childhood.
Customer Review: Classic favorites
Growing up I can remember watching these Disney cartoons. Now that I have two kids of my own. It is great to share these classic Disney favorites with them.

Customer Review: The Disney Blue Bible!
This book was recommended to us by the Disney Moms Panel. No other guide compares with its up-to-date information on Disney's healthy options. My family and I went to Disney for our annual winter-break vacation in 2009. We had this book for a few weeks before our trip, brought it with us to Disney, and carried it wherever we went. It is PERFECT. The Cast Members in Disney referred to the book as "The Blue Bible," with good reason. Anywhere you can go inside Disney World - by foot, car, or boat - is in this book concerning its healthy options. It even includes jogging paths and menu suggestions. Honest, invaluable recommendations for Disney Dining Plans, ADR's, restaurants, menu choices, and hotel activities, all in one paperback book. Be sure to follow its advice regarding the fitness must-do's and the "Eat Tips". With this book, my family and I had the perfect Disney vacation. If you are going to Disney, you simply must buy this book.
Customer Review: Best WDW Nutrition Resource!
Aside from this book's generic first chapter, the remainder of this 2009 guide is full of beneficial insight. As a registered dietitian, I often approach books with some skepticism, as I have found many popular ones to be too gimmicky, too extreme, nutritionally imbalanced, or too unrealistic to be followed over the long-haul. Imagine my surprise when I read The Healthy Guide. Author Dan Green has managed to simplify science and draw attention to the Disney health perils in a witty, warm, encouraging, positive, and entertaining way. He explains in simple, easy to understand language how to reprogram your body to support healthful weight loss. Along the way, he encourages people to consume more protein, fiber, and healthful unsaturated fats, and less saturated fats, trans fats, and sugar, all of which can certainly support weight management efforts and have heart-health and other benefits as well. There are no other Disney guide books on the market that takes such a very positive approach, shows people what to consume more of, supports regular physical activity, and encourages people to set realistic goals--instead of striving for model-thinness, it asks people to aim simply to lose some inches from their guts which can improve not only their physical appearance but their health as well. Perhaps the greatest strength of this book is its light and encouraging tone, not to mention the illustrations which make it an easy and enjoyable read. Having lost more than 25 pounds myself, and having maintained a healthy body weight for more than 10 years, I know first hand how tough it is to lose weight, espcically on a vacation. For me it was a slow, gradual process that took years. I would have found this book quite useful about 15 years ago (before I became a registered dietitian) when I started to change my eating and fitness habits, and now am happy to have a popular diet book to recommend to clients and the lay public. Overall, The Healthy Guide to Disney World can be a useful resource and motivator, and can be quite helpful resource for those who are tired of extreme dieting and want to start living as they pursue a healthier weight. This book makes a great bookshelf addition for anyone who is willing to take the time to learn how the body works to improve their overall eating habitsin WDW, get more fit, and lose weight for life.
