Disney The Little Big Book of Family Classics
The 20th entry in the Little Big Book series is meant for kids but will appeal equally to grown-ups. It’s a charming trip down memory lane, inviting readers to reminisce about 24 Disney animated films, from 101 Dalmatians and Alice in Wonderland to The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo. For each film, the editors offer a condensed version of the plot, a number of images from the movie, activities (e.g., Q&As;, arts and crafts inspired by the film), lines from the film and a kid-friendly recipe (Aladdin boasts Abu’s Finger Food, while The Jungle Book inspires Bare Necessities Banana Bread). Adults will warm to the book’s nostalgic air, and children will enjoy acting out scenes where the lines are provided, such as the moment when Dumbo learns to fly, or the scene in Bambi when Thumper learns about love. The marvelous artwork, which evolves from Snow White’s stark primary color contrasts to the wildly vivid tones used in A Bug’s Life, will enthrall readers of all ages.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
