Summary: Nice book for your little Disney Princess fan...
Comment: This book is a favorite of my daughter. Not only does it have princess stories, but it includes other Disney characters, making it a nice all-around collection.

Summary: terribly mangled stories
Comment: These stories have been so poorly edited and abridged that many of them are very difficult to follow. This is a transparent effort on the part of Disney to simply sell more of their junk. It's shameful the way they treat narrative and a real disservice to the kids who are seduced by the pictures and want to read this book.

Summary: Nice idea, but. . .
Comment: The pictures in this book are great, especially for small children to look at while you read the story. But, read ALL of the other reviews. It's not coincidence that many are complaining of the quality of the stories. They're not TERRIBLE, but they're written too advanced for small children, and the stories are too short for older children. The stories are super-condensed (four or five page) versions of the movies, so if you haven't seen the movies, they're pretty hard to follow. We let our daughter look at the pictures while we tell our own versions of the stories because the written words are too hard for her to follow. Aside from that, the actual BOOK is terribly made. The binding on ours came completely off and it lost several pages within a week of very light use.

Summary: Worthless waste of money
Comment: This book is a total waste of money. There are typographical errors, if you can imagine. The stories have no cohesion. If you don't already know the videos, you can't follow the stories at all. I bought this so that my daughter (3) can know what her friends are talking about who all watch the videos. The stories jump about here and there and change the original story line anyway so they just don't make any sense to her. Or to me, for that matter, and I have seen the videos. There are better books out there for your money.

Summary: It introduced me many good Disney movies, and I'm grateful to it!
Comment: My uncle brought this book to me and my sister from America, and we were so happy to read this.
The stories in it were very easy to understand, it fits for my sister, a middle school student who didn't love English very much, I was glad that she was interested in this! And pictures in it were beautiful. The most important thing is this book introduced many good Disney movies and stories to me. Before I finished reading this book, I haven't know how romantic the movie "Beauty and the Beast" was. And if it wasn't for this book, I wouldn't watch the movie "Oliver&Company", then I would never know how wonderful the song in this movie were! If I haven't read this book, I wouldn't know the movie "Tarzan", and I wouldn't know Phil Collins and his glorious music! Even I can say that without having read this book, I wouldn't love Disney so much!
When I read some stories I've know, I felt a little disappointed. The stories were too simple and short, every story owned only 7 or 8 pages.
However, I'm still grateful to this book for introducing so many good movies and stories to me!
