Christmas With Little Women (Ideals Read Aloud Storybooks) 1 review
Louisa May Alcott
Childrens Pr, 1986
Great intro to the classics for kids
This book takes the first chapter of Louisa May Alcott's classic, Little Women, and illustrates and abridges it for children. The illustrations are excellant, giving kids a good idea of how people, particularly women, dressed in the era (Civil War period), as well as a glimpse into the social and cultural customs of the period. The illustrations bring to life the opening chapter of the book. The ...

Chicken Little (Read-Aloud Storybook)2 reviews

RH/Disney, 2005
Excellent Book Based On The Movie
For months, my husband and son were eager to see Chicken Little at the theater. Having seen the previews, I just wasn't thrilled at the prospect of seeing this particular movie for some reason.
I accompanied my family to the theater to see Chicken Little and was VERY surprised at just how good it was!
My 7 year old son loved the movie, so when he saw Disney's Read Aloud Storybook Chicken ...

For the child in all of us.
A great adventure story for any age with endearing characters like Cody the "Captain" of the group, the always prepared Matt, and the little spitfire Missy. The story has some nice surprises and couple of lessons in understanding others. The story is "G" rated,suitable for all ages and is a fairly quick read.
What sensitivity you write with. The story was lovely ... it really touched me many ...

RH Disney
RH/Disney, 1999
A Must-Read Classic!
Walt Disney?s Beauty and the Beast Read-Aloud storybook is one of the best I?ve seen. Not too long and not too short ? this story is great to read at bedtime or anytime. Illustrations are taken directly from the Disney movie. My preschooler and toddler love the enchanted objects in the castle (especially when I try to sing ?Be Our Guest?). I love the message is presents ? loving someone for ...

Brother Bear Read Aloud Storybook1 review
Random House, 2003
I love this book!
The only reason I wouldn't recommend this book to you is if you don't like people changing into spirits and coming back and such. Otherwise, if you've seen the movie or not (I have!), this book is great. It's pictures are great (it's hard to pick a favorite!) and they accuratley capture the look of the movie. The text isn't lacking either (Lilo & Stitch's pics were good, but story adaption was ...

Tinker Bell (Read-Aloud Storybook)2 reviews
RH Disney
RH/Disney, 2008
Coax your little girl into turning OFF the darn DVD for a moment.
This is simply a retelling of the new Tinkerbell DVD's plot, with illustrations taken from the movie.
I bought it as party favors for the girls at my daughter's third birthday party. It brought rave reviews from my toddler-- but then she got the actual Tinker Bell DVD from her Grandma for her birthday. I was sure her copy of the book would fall by the wayside.
No way. She wants to ...

Cinderella (Ideals Read Aloud Storybooks)1 review
Toby Bluth
Childrens Pr, 1986
Outstanding read aloud book - the best Cinderella story!
This book is beautifully illustrated and its the best rendition of the Cinderella story that I've read. It is most age appropriate as a read aloud book for children 6-8. Also recommended is Toby Bluth's book titled Tenderfoot. Review written by a school media specialist with 10 years experience with read aloud books.

Treasure Planet Book
I think this Treasure Planet book is really good. The pictures are great and the book is just like the movie. Jim finds a map and joins the crew. An alien first told him to beware of a cyborg. He sets sail on the ship as a cabin boy and Silver as the cook. Silver teaches Jim what he knows and is beginning to get a soft place for Jim. They find the treasure but it is a trap. They escape and Silver ...

Home on the Range (Read-Aloud Storybook)1 review
RH Disney
RH/Disney, 2004
Wonderful book with classic illustrations
The illustrations in this book of one of my favorite Disney films is by far one of the best. It reminds me of how Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan were drawn earlier. I believe that this movie deserves to have a second chance just like Alice did. But this book will surely delight any reader who enjoys the classic Disney art style as I have and always will.

RH/Disney, 1999
Wonderful and Timeless Classic
Cinderella is a children's classic romantic story that is timeless. The story has been adapted for various movies. I read the story decades ago when I was a kid. It was only recently when I was looking for a present for my five years old daughter that I bought the book and went through it again with her. We also saw the excellent video that complemented the beautiful story in the book.
Briefly ...

Bambi: A Read-Aloud Storybook9 reviews
RH Disney
RH/Disney, 1999
A nice book to read to your children.
When it's time to put the kids to bed I highly recommend you read this book "Bambi and the Great Prince of the Forest," a midquel to the beloved story "Bambi." The book is pretty short only being 23 pages long with large print. Because the print is large and pretty easy to read this would be an ideal book for young children to start reading. The book also has very beautiful illustrations to ...

Tom Sawyer (Ideals Read Aloud Storybooks)291 reviews
Mark Twain
Children's Press, 1986
Yes, it's a classic for a reason.
I somehow tragically managed to make my way to adulthood with never reading anything but the kiddie version of this book. When I found this book for super-cheap in the teachers' lounge book sale and I figured "hey, why not?" And thus I picked it up and immediately fell in love with the sheer Old-South charm that only Twain can deliver. Really, people, it is no wonder that this book is such a ...

The Wild (Read-Aloud Storybook)1 review
Ahmet Zappa
Disney Books for Young Readers, 2006
Enjoyable read...
It's got to be hard to condense a whole movie into a small format, but this author (Emmons) manages to do it with style and character. Told in the 1st person by the lion cub, the book gives everything from his point of view, which is an interesting change from the movie. The book wraps up the story nicely on the last page with a good lesson and a satisfying message. One of the better books in ...
