Customer Review: Nice book, but add-ons distracting
The stories are good and the caleidoscope and projector are both a nice additions, but my kid gets distracted playing with them and does not pay attention to what I am reading. Also the projector broke after playing with it for a day and caleidoscope base got detached after less than a week
Customer Review: Kaleidoscope/Viewer enhances 3 Fairy Stories
This book has 3 stories and a kaleidoscope/viewer with disks for each story. On the first page of each story there is a picture of the disks that go with that story. Within the story there are numbers which let you know which picture on the viewer disk corresponds to that part of the story. For each story there is a kaleidoscope disk and 2 viewer disks sorted by color; green for Tinker Bell's story, purple for Beck's, and yellow for Lily's. The viewer disks are numbered 1 and 2 so that you'll know which one to view first. In the first story, "Tinker Bell's Struggle" (10 pages), Tinker Bell looses her hammer and is unable to fix things in Pixie Hollow. She has left her spare hammer at Peter Pan's secret hideout but she is afraid to face Peter Pan after her last visit when they parted with harsh words. In the second story, "Brave Hearted Beck" (8 pages), the birds and ground animals get into a berry battle and berries are being thrown all over Pixie Hollow. Beck is the only one who can stop the confusion and unite everyone once again. In the final story, "Lily's Strange Seed" (9 pages), Lily finds a mysterious seed and decides to plant it in her garden. The plant that grows seems like a troublesome weed to the other fairies and they want her to get rid of it, but Lily and her friend Iris are garden-talent faires and they know there is something special about this plant. The kaleidoscope/viewer is a nice addition for children (OVER 36 MONTHS OLD) to use while they're being read to, or to play with seperately. The left side has a slot for kaleidoscope disks and the right side has a slot for viewer disks. Since the disks are removable, the kaleidoscope disk can fall out if the kaleidoscope is turned upside down and it may take a little practice to learn how to turn the viewer disk with ease. There is a light inside which operates with two cell batteries that are INCLUDED and already installed. We've been using it for a few days and the batteries are still strong, but when they run out they can be replaced with these brand sizes: Eveready A76, Maxell & Toshiba LR44, Duracell D303/D357. The battery compartment requires a screwdriver and batteries should not be replaced or handled by children.


Disney Bunnies: Surprise for Thumper, A
Thumper and his sisters discover surprises all around them in this adorable lift-the-flap board book! Charming illustrations featuring the bunnies' mischevious antics, and sturdy flaps--including a large one on the last spread--offer lots of surprises. It's the perfect book for the littlest explorers.
Customer Review: Beautiful Artwork, but the "Story" Lacks
The Disney Bunnies line of books are gorgeous to look at. Thumper, the charismatic, mischievious bunny rabbit from Disney's Bambi has been illustrated in a beautifully lush world teeming with adorable animal friends and pretty idyllic wildlife settings. However the "story" of this book is awkward to read. The words just don't have a nice flow and makes the book seem stunted. Thumper searches for his sisters and there's lots of flaps to lift but it could have been written with a more entertaining spin in mind. It's just kind of flat, though the artwork is beautiful. My daughter still likes it, because it IS Thumper afterall but prefers the Shapes, Numbers and Good Night Thumper titles.

Customer Review: My son read it in just 2 days
We loved the book and I loved that it offered something that my child would love to read. The story held pretty close to the movie which we didn't see until after he read the book.
Customer Review: HSM3
I really enjoyed reading this book. It helped me get a feeling of what the movie is going to be about. It was a fast read, but it was entertaining and kept my attention. I can't wait until the movie comes out this Friday.
