Book Review - Mickey Mouse Tales

Today's book review is on Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Tales: Classic Stories


This is a beautiful and colorful 80 page, hard cover treasure and is geared towards 5 - 9 year olds.  However,  I have to disagree with that age range - this is a book that will delight anyone at any age.  In fact, I think older readers will really appreciate the timeless nostalgia of this cartoon collection.

Mickey Mouse Tales contains splendid illustrations exploding with color of fifty of Disney's most popular short tales that were hidden for a time in Disney archives.
 

Re-live your childhood or introduce the youngster in your life to classic Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  Giggle at the antics of Donald and Daisy, melt over Pluto with his big heart, and delight at Goofy in all his glory.  

 
I was pleased to see that my all time favorite - Wynken, Blynken and Nod - was included in the collection as the final piece.  It gives me fond memories of curling up in my mom's lap for story time before bed when I was a child
.

My only regret is that this collection came out too late for me to read and share with my own children.  They would have loved the stories and the adorable illustrations.  But I can promise you that I will be wrapping this hardcover book of Disney memories in tissue paper and hiding it away to share with future grandchildren. 

Pick up a copy of Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Tales: Classic Stories to share with the youngster in your life, or settle back in a comfy chair and savor it alone. 


I was provided an advance copy of the book by Rizzoli Publishing for review purposes and asked to give an honest review. All opinions are my own.  All photos are property of K. Scornavacco, allowed with consent by the publisher, and cannot be reproduced.
