Disney Stories for 3-Year-Olds (Studio Fun International; ISBN:  978-0794444358; Hardcover $12.99; 192 pages)


My thoughts:  The Disney Stories for 3-Year-Olds book of stories again is captivating for the young listener. This time a bit older so the stories and illustrations are a bit more involved or "complex." Transitioning from the Mickey and Minnie simplicity to "fairy tales" such as Peter Pan with more involved story plot and much more detailed illustrations.

The stories involve a bit of adventure and excitement different from that which one would present to a younger child.

The book is sturdy, bright, and has very durable pages sure to survive the rough handling that a youngster just learning the care and love of a good book.

Another good Disney book to have available for read-aloud-time.





About the book: From Peter Pan to 101 Dalmatians, three-year-olds will be introduced to wonderful Disney adventures. This treasury includes fourteen classic Disney stories retold and simplified for a younger audience.

Disney The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: A Center Stage Pop-Up Book by Courtney Acampora

Studio Fun International
 ISBN: 978-0794442033
 Hardcover $12.99; Ages 6-8
My thoughts:  The magic of the Nutcracker, Christmas, and a beautiful ballet captures the heart and mind of most every little girl. And the ferocious antics of characters in the beloved Nutcracker appeal to boisterous boys.

In the new (and I say new because at least to me it is a new rendering) "Nutcracker and the FOUR REALMS" the magic spans four fantastically fabulous, scary and beautiful realms or you might say divisions.

This beautiful picture book is a nice keepsake for the child who has experienced by watching or participating in the Nutcracker or viewing the newer Nutcracker and the Four Realms movie. Each two-page spread features one of the Realms and center stage is the beautiful cutout of the ballerina.

Beautifully rendered in sturdy hardcover and durable pages in the interior. The book springs to life with each page turn.

About the book:  The Ballerina of the Realms dances on every page of this magical book!

From Disney's all-new live action film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, follow the elegant Ballerina of the Realms as she dances center stage in this artistic pop-up book, celebrating each of the unique and picturesque Four Realms. This beautiful format is a perfect holiday gift for fans of this classic tale, full of colorful characters and no shortage of surprises.
