Disney Classics 12 Book Block Board book – March 1, 2011

We bought these Disney books 2.5 years ago, when my son was 1.5 years old (he is now 4). At first, my son showed no much interest of them, since he preferred other books with simpler pictures or shapes. He started being more interested in these Disney books around 3, when he watched the Lion King movie, and now he "reads" them (by read I mean passing the pages and looking at the pictures) every now and then.The books are very small, and each of them has only 5 double-pages with a few facts about the movie. Some of them manage to capture a brief summary of the plot of the movies (for example, 101 Dalmatians), while others completely ignore it (The Lion King or The Jungle Book). For example, the story of the Jungle Book goes as follows (literal transcription for each page):- Page 1-2: Bagheera the panther heard a strange sound. It was a Man-cub!- Page 3-4: The wolves cared for Mowgli until he was a big boy- Page 5-6: Mowgli met a new friend - Baloo the bear- Page 7-8: Baloo and Mowgli had good times together- Page 9-10: Soon it was time for Mowgli to go live in the villageDoes this means that this books are not nice? Not at all! First, the books are really well constructed, and they have survived my son's toddler-hood in very good condition. Not even one of the books is damaged, even he sometimes throws them around. The book case is a different story: it is made of thin cardboard, and the center piece (to separate the top and bottom "shelves" got unglued on the second day of owning it). And second, as your child start watching the Disney movies, he will enjoy checking these books and remembering those scenes on themAs long as you adjust your expectations to what these books are (just small pictures and short sentences highlighting some events from each movie), you will enjoy this library. But \iIf you are expecting books with the full story that you can use to tell him these Disney tales, you will be disappointed!Note that I also own My First Library: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which is more focused on education (numbers, colors, etc.) than in the stories. My son does not really like Mickey so much, but if your child is into Mickey's Clubhouse, it is a good alternative!

The books are cute, but are very very tiny. 5 pages per little book. The size of the palm of your hand. My son likes them, but they don't really tell the stories.Example Peter Pan book: 1-Peter Pan visited Wendy 2-Peter took the children flying 3-They flew to never land 4-Peter fought Captain Hook and won 5-Peter Pan saved the day THE ENDSo if you are looking for something like I was to tell my son the Disney stories this is not the one.

Wonderful little board books. My grandchildren love them. Take them out every time they come over. Sturdy little books. Nice little size for little hands. Good price. Bought 3 different sets.

The books are sturdy, but the stories are ridiculously oversimplfied. I get that the books are only a few pages long, but the "stories" dont make a lot of sense. I was disappointed.

My niece loved these books. They are all the classics. She is a beginner reader and loves being able to read these all on her own.

Love that all the books come in a case with a handle (although my 16 months old twins just tore the case apart after 1 week)... The little books are just right for them to hold and "start reading". While one of the twin has yet got the attention span for me to finish a book, the other twin loves it! I plan to buy all the other collections. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because some of the storyline just doesn't flow, but I guess it shouldn't since it's only a few pages.

Waste of money, the books are the size of my palm and take 30 secs to read and don't tell the story properly at all.

I ordered this set as a gift for my 12 month old. When I finally opened the package a few months after receiving it, I noticed I got two of "The Jungle Book" and was missing the "Pinoccio" book. Of course, I was past my 90 day return window. Other than that, the books seem to hold up nicely and are very cute.
