This collection of 17 Disney tales is a must-have for any little one. Children three and up will adore Sleeping Beauty, Marry Poppins, Lady and the Tramp, Dumbo, Goofy, Mickey, Mini, Donald, and so many more! The stories each have clear plots and pages filled with full sentences, new words, and fun dialogue. Every story is accompanied by vibrantly colored cartoons of our favorite easily-recognizable Disney characters.

This is certainly a book to be picked up frequently over the course of many years, so your child is bound to memorize their favorite stories. It is fun to take turns 'reading' one another the stories, looking over the pictures together, and pose questions like, "Who is your favorite princess," "What would you bring to Mickey's picnic," or "Do you think you could have pulled the sword from the stone?" Your little one will be able to follow the different plots of each story, name the characters, and work on their beginner reading skills.

My niece, Emily, loves to bring this book out right before bed, thinking she can get more stories read before 'lights out'. We usually only read one - two at the most - stories at a time, though. When I let Emily pick, she always chooses "Sleeping Beauty" and "Cinderella", since she is in a huge princess phase. When it's my turn to pick, I usually pick "Mickey Mouse's Picnic," "Chip 'n' Dale at the Zoo," or "Alice and Wonderland," since they were so prevalent in my own childhood. I'm so glad that Emily always seems to enjoy them as well.
