Peter Pan

ISBN 0307001040 - Eugene Bradley Coco and illustrator Ron Dias, who teamed up on Pinocchio (A Little Golden Book), take on another classic with the adaptation of Disney's Peter Pan. This time they're slightly less successful, as they fall into what seems like a pattern with these books, trying to tell too much in too few pages and leaving out important details in the process. The illustrations, however, are fantastic. Wendy, John and Michael Darling are in the nursery on the eve of Wendy's growing up when Peter Pan appears, looking for his shadow. When he hears that Wendy will be leaving the nursery to grow up tomorrow, he offers to whisk them away to Never Land. The children go with Peter and enjoy themselves until Peter sees that Captain Hook has kidnapped Tiger Lily. He rescues her, but Hook then captures Tinkerbell, forcing her to tell him where Peter and the Lost Boys can be found. Hook captures all of them, including the Darlings, and it's up to Peter and Tinkerbell to save them! Coco jumps right into the story, which seems to assume that the reader already knows something about it. Peter's distress that there will be no more stories makes no sense, because there hadn't been a story yet. It's a small thing for those who know the whole story, and kids might not notice because they're kids, but the book has an incomplete feel to it. Tinkerbell's jealousy of Wendy, for example, is never mentioned. I think young children will love the story, regardless, but for fans of the original, it falls a bit short. - AnnaLovesBooks

Peter Pan

Walt Disney's Peter PanPeter Pan meets the darlings and takes them to never land where they go through some things with the bad captain hook. I think that this was a really good book and it really teaches kids to have dreams. I think that kids around the ages under eleven would like this book the most. I really like how Peter Pan saves all his friends from the mean Captain Hook.

Disney's Sketchbooks - Great Resource for Artists!

This fine addition to the Disney Sketchbook series has many of the wonderful sketches done by Disney's animation department for Peter Pan, including many pieces from the storyboards, and several sketches of scenes that never made it into the final film. Artists that would like to study the Disney style of drawing and animation should find this volume a terrific addition to their collection despite its rather high price. As a student of art, and a fan of the Disney style, I highly recommend any of these books for your library.
