Customer Review: Long story
My 5 year old wanted a Jasmine party for her birthday so when I saw this I bought it for her. She loves looking at the pictures. The story is kind of long, but she has always loved to be read to and sits through it pretty well.
Customer Review: not for young kids
My 3 year old one loves Disney Princess and it is hard to find things about Jasmine. So I ordered it. Not for young kids. THe story is okay. Princess does a great thing for a little girl and the sibling. gives them a home etc. But it is more for older kids that love to read their own book, or perhaps older kids that like to be read to and enjoy a more advanced story of their favorite princess. Nice color, paper pages, and it will be a nice book for an older child. My daughter loves the princess but she doesn't get into this book at all. Perhaps at a later time but for right now it was wasted money.


Walt Disney's the Penguin That Hated the Cold (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading)
Tired of always being cold, Pablo, a penguin, decides to move from the South Pole to a warmer climate.
Customer Review: My child's favorite book
My 18-month-old loves books - she will pick a book out of her stack and will hand us the book to read to her .... usually her attention will last for one page and she will get up to get the next book. Not when she sees Pablo. She will snuggle up closely and is very attentive throughout the book. When we point to Pablo sipping a drink in his hammock on the last page, she closes the book and opens it up to the beginning and we start again. There is something about Pablo and his story that she can relate to, or maybe we are so into the story as well that gets her attention.
Customer Review: Just The Best
It is a shame the book is not available. When I was 4, I had it all planned out. My Grandmother had the perfect bathtub. It is sad that I never got it to work. Long Live Pablo. And where is Benny The Bus. Another great kids book. The story line has Benny being sick of the same old routes and the same people so he takes off without his driver. Everything is great for awhile then Benny needs maintenance and water. Benny never thought of these problems. Of course in the end Benny shows up at the Bus Depot and he and his driver live on in infamy.


Walt Disney Treasures - Mickey Mouse in Living Color
During the mid-'30s, Mickey Mouse's fans ranged from the more than one million children who were members of the Mickey Mouse Club to Franklin Roosevelt, Mary Pickford, and the Nizam of Hyderabad; theater marquees announced "A Mickey Mouse Cartoon" with the feature titles. These wonderful shorts, many of which have never been released to the home market, remind viewers just how charming Mickey was before his popularity and role as a corporate symbol restricted his behavior. In these cartoons Mickey's personality was boyish, appealing, and slightly mischievous. The superb animation emphasizes that impish appeal. When Mickey dances with a deck of cards in "Thru the Mirror," he displays a stylish grace Fred Astaire might envy; in "Brave Little Tailor," his expressions and body language reveal his thoughts as he outwits Willie the Giant. It's virtually impossible to watch him without smiling. These shorts overflow with color and motion, and their lavish visuals pack an increased impact in an era of minimal television animation. Only Walt Disney would spend the money to animate a full deck of cards, a band flying through the air in a tornado, or a clutch of semitransparent ghosts, and only his animators could make those characters live on the screen. The prints have been lovingly restored without pumping up the color too much: the nuances of the delicate watercolor backgrounds still come through. Parents, Disney buffs, and animation fans will want this superb collection in their home libraries. Unrated: suitable for all ages. --Charles Solomon
Customer Review: We love Mickey!
If you like Disney you will love this Mickey in living color. Mickey Mouse is such a loveable little guy. He's even a hero on the classic favorite "Brave Little Tailor". I totally love this volume and I'm so glad I have it. Classic Mickey Mouse in color is truly enjoyable. It's nice to see the team too, I mean of course Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto. One hilarious bit I can think of is the angel and devil pluto in "Mickey's Elephant". The bits of history and behind the scenes with Leonard Maltin are great too. They increase your appreciation for Disney and his team on these funny and delightful cartoon shorts.
Customer Review: Mickey Bursts Forth in Fun and Color
By 1935, Mickey Mouse was an institution. Surprisingly, Walt Disney had resisted featuring his main star in color up to that point, reserving color for his Silly Symphonies. But that year he changed all that. And this two disc set features the first four years of Mickey's color career. 26 shorts were made in those years, and all of them are in this set. And we've got some real winners. The set opens with "The Band Concert," the famous piece in which Mickey tries to conduct a concert despite Donald's interruptions and a tornado. Also famous is "Thru the Mirror" inspired by Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. "Clock Cleaners" finds Mickey, Goofy, and Donald high in the air cleaning a clock. "Lonesome Ghosts" features the trio as ghost hunters brought to a haunted mansion by the ghosts themselves. And the set ends with "Brave Little Tailor" in which Mickey plays a tailor mistakenly hired to fight a giant. Very few are the cartoons where Mickey is all by himself. Most of the time, he is joined by Donald and Goofy or Pluto. But "On Ice" finds Mickey with the entire gang including Minnie as they go skating. They all get to go on the "Hawaiian Holiday" as well. Mickey's first color appearance was actually for the Oscars introducing the nominees one year. That very short piece is included here as are pencil tests from three of the 1935 shorts. Disc two features a gallery of promotional art from the time and a brief documentary from Leonard Maltin talking about Mickey's career in the era. As much fun as these cartoons are, they don't all hold up. "Pluto's Judgment Day" was rather boring. And I don't care for cartoons were a bunch of kids run around wrecking havoc like in "Orphan's Picnic." The truly bad cartoons are few and far between, however. For the most part, this is a collection of cartoons that will entertain any fan of classic animation.
