The Same Old Song (Disney's the Little Mermaid)


The Same Old Song (Disney's the Little Mermaid)
Customer Review: From A to Z
The sisters have plans for a weekend of fun and frivolity, but those dreams are quickly dashed when Sebastian has them in rehearsal for the Under The Sea Musical Gala, which is in two weeks. Owing to the tight schedule, there will be no free time, as it will be taken up with the rehearsals. Needless to say, there is great chafing between the sisters and tempers flare. Sebastian gets an invitation to the Dixieland Waters Jazz Festival, as is directed to go by King Triton. Aquata is ordered to lead the rehearsals, but she'd rather rehearse for a play instead, a play she wrote. However, Triton put the kibosh on that, wanting emphasis on the musical, so the sisters do double duty, learning both the music in the morning and the play at night. The double-duty schedule has them both tired and snappish, as now both artistic creations are suffering from the split efforts. Just when they are about to give up, Ariel hits on a plan to combine both the musical and the play as one. The book makes fun of itself, when the "Seven Sisters" all have names that start with "Z" and are not much different in character than the sisters themselves. Valuable lessons in working together and keeping an open mind come into play here, as well as the humor.

Customer Review: Please, look for another Little Einstein book!
We have a few little einstein books, and we are not overly fond of them. The DVDs are great, and the kids enjoyed the books on the first reading - but after they would ask for a different book. They lack a little substance. Melody the music pet is all over the place - we bought the book as it shared our daughters name, and even that novelty can't keep her interest. I would not recommoend this. I don't normally take the time to write reviews - but I was dissapointed enough with this book that it got me typing.
Customer Review: Weak story
Little Einsteins is a great brand but sometimes product quality/creativity lags. This did not wow us or our child as other Little Einstein products have.
