Great for Bedtime Reading

This is great for bedtime reading, as lots of stories and you can read a few everynight, over and over again.

Very happy with this set

I ordered it when my son was 20 months old, then I divorced and left the states, and it took my ex 1.5 yrs to send the books over. They arrived yestarday morning and I read first story to him last night. Stories are short in terms of text, but illustrations are large and colorful and spread over 50 or so pages each. Loads of pictures to keep the child's attention, and loads of details for him to notice - bunnies, birds, trees. I re-told the stories in Croatian as we have not yet started english with him :(( but I am hoping he would be reading from these books for years to come, in English as well. My son seems to like them, and I am very happy to have gotten them for him..

Wonderful read

Both this book and Volume 1 have provided hours of reading for my niece. They are enjoyable classic Disney stories, with beautiful illustrations. An excellent addition to any child's library.

A Disney Classic

Along with the first volume of this set, this book has provided my 2 year old son with hours of bedtime story enjoyment. Although the first volume covers more conventional Disney stories (Cinderella, Lion King etc.), this volume covers what I would consider Disney adventures (Toy Stories 1 and 2, Tarzan) and animal stories (101 Dalmations, Lady and the Tramp, The Fox and the Hound). They seem a strange compination but, taken individually, all of the tales are perfectly presented.The cover featuring characters from each story allows the child to decide which story they want before the book is even opened. Once inside each story takes around 64 pages and is fully illustrated in striking full colour and to the standard expected from Disney. Bizarrely, Toy Story 2 is illustrated while the original Toy Story is accompanied by stills from the film. The text is large and simple without sacrificing the general plot of the film and each story is divided into three chapters to create 'bite-sized' reading sessions.I was very impressed with the introduction for parents that covers beautifully how these books (and books in general) can be best used as a tool for learning. Not preachy, just helpful!
