The Little Big Book of Disney
Grade 7-Up This thick volume with a small trim size is filled with  full-color archival art. What it amounts to is an advertisement  for, or perhaps a love letter to, the Disney Company. There are  many interesting tidbits about obscure employees who made a  contribution to films and theme parks. There is a particular  emphasis on women who contributed to the organization's legacy,  including Retta Scott, its first female animator. But for every  interesting piece of trivia there is also a silly bit of  nonsense. And while the table of contents breaks down the  material by topic, for example, "Magic Kingdoms," the book is  not organized accordingly; readers must return to the table of  contents to look up each page separately if they want to find  all of the items under a particular heading. Not a necessary  purchase. -Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Library District, Phoenix, AZCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
