Customer Reviews

Tarzan

The Edgar Rice Burroughs books are full of suspense, a perfect bedtime story. The best thing is that many (if not all of them) can be downloaded from from Project Gutenberg. Try reading the first one, Tarzan of the Apes, to your child as a serial bedtime story. They'll be begging to go to bed.

Disney's Tarzan , clear and Precise

This version of Disney's Tarzan is clearly written and has accurate drawings true to the film's content. Rarely do you find a smaler version of the big books so well presented.

Smaller successor to the Disney Classic series

Disney Mouseworks seems to be moving to smaller books and it looks like the end of the line of the Disney Classics series. The new Read-Aloud Storybooks are shorter (by about 20 pages) and smaller (by an inch here and there). That's too bad for those of us who have been collecting the old series. The paper is nicer and the artwork is very good, though, so it's not a total loss.

edgar rice burroughs must be rolling over in his grave!

edgar rice burroughs created a hero to equal ulysses,hercules, or paul bunyan. walt disney studios reduced this giant to the size of mickey mouse. after you see the movie, read the REAL story in burroughs' TARZAN OF THE APES, thankfully still in print, and see how it really happened.

Captivating Book Full Of Disney Charm!

Disney's Tarzan, Special Collectors Edition is a must have for all Disney Animation fans! I loved viewing the early sketches by Disney artists as they conceptualized Tarzan and his friends. The book allows readers to follow animators through the their research of animals and landscapes native to Africa. And in addition to the fabulous pictures, sketches and artwork, there is a wonderful story of the life of Edgar Rice Burroughs. This is a wonderful book for people of all ages!
