Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Go Goofy, Go! (Disney Early Readers)


Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Go Goofy, Go! (Disney Early Readers)
Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse! Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! Join Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto in two ready-to-read tales that teach valuable lessons about letters, numbers, shapes, decision-making, and friendship

Goofy wants to visit the Clubhouse but he doesn't know the best way to get there. Join Goofy on a wild ride as he skates, glides, surfs, sails and more in an attempt to reach his Clubhouse pals. Finally he learns that the best way to visit his friends may just be the simplest.

The premiere of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse delivered the highest ratings ever for a Playhouse Disney series premiere among Kids 2-5, Girls 2-5, Households, and Total Viewers. It also premiered at #1 among all basic cable networks in its time period for Kids 2-5. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse shows no signs of slowing down --It is the number one show among preschoolers!
Customer Review: Goofy teaches kids to be afraid
This colorful story is about Goofy's disastrous attempts to get to the clubhouse. Disney's dog-man tries many different modes of transportation, and all of them leave him in terrible trouble: he crashes his scooter, gets struck by lightning in his airplane, sinks his rowboat, etc. etc. Only at the end does he realize that walking to the Clubhouse is the best way to get there. I didn't like it. Sure it's just a cartoon, but this book seems to discourage kids from being adventurous. After Goofy fails at each attempt, the text reads "No Goofy No! Scooting (as well as "flying," "rowing," "bouncing," "gliding," "skating," "surfing," "sliding" and "sailing") is not the way to go." The flying page shows Goofy's plane getting struck by violent lighting bolts, which come from a monster-faced thunder cloud. The book includes a dozen flash cards. Each has an action word on one side and an illustation of that action on the other. An envelope to hold the cards is glued to the inside of the back cover.
