Disney Books

Although this book is aimed toward the younger readers, it is the original poem of the Nightmare Before Christmas, so no matter if you are a Burton fan or study literature, this is an essential item to add to that collectio

Hmm, where do I begin... I LOVE JACK SKELLINGTON first off, and this book is SOO COOL! And yes, you can probably tell I'm a teenage girl so far... but yeah, I read this book when I was really little (same with watching the movie) and at first it scared the crap outta me (hey, I was little). But when I got older, I started to realize that this thing kicked @$$. It made me laugh, made me smile, made me cry a little, everything! Best holiday book ever! It's not really a little kid book, but it's not too scary either. The scariest part about it are the drawings, just cuz they're so abnormal. Also... if you haven't seen the movie, make sure you do. But all in all, this is probably my favorite book. GOOD JOB TIM!

I bought a copy of this book a couple years back, only to find my young nephew (only 5 back then) reaching to look at it often when he visited. I've now decided to buy him his own copy of this book, while it's still in print, because I see this movie's "legend" continuing to grow as an annual Halloween classic. Such is the unique and wonderful world of Tim Burton; his style often does not catch on immediately, but it slowly finds its way beyond "cult" viewing and into the hearts and minds of mainstream audiences. This book features a generous offering of pre-production designs (including many of Burton's own drawings) and behind-the-scenes photos, which are fun to look at again and again. A beautifully illustrated book, and fun to own

A director named Burton with the first name of Tim
Wrote this tale of a skeleton, tall and slim.

Jack Skeleton is the name of this "hero"
He comes with a ghost dog known as Zero.

As the title implies two holidays meet
Do we say "Merry Christmas" or "trick or treat?"

Jack wants to spread Christmas and help Santa out
But he's a little misguided when he takes the toy route.

The kids are a bit surprised by Jack as S. Claus
Some of his Christmas traditions would make anyone pause.

Before you read this give the movie a look
The film helps the reader make sense of the book.

Illustrated with drawings instead of claymation
This book still creates quite a sensation!

I'd like to know more about Nightmare Before Christmas.

I have just started reading the Disney Girls and enjoy them very much.In the story,Jasmine has 4 best friends but no best best friend.I thought it was funny,and very well-written.

I enjoyed reading this book very much. The story is very interesting and I can put it down! The most inspiring part is that Jasmine wanted to find out if Isabelle was a Disney Girl as I was curious and I wished Jasmine could had a best best friend. I am very glad the other Disney Girls accepted Isabelle and Jamine's dream had came true! What a wounderful ending! I would recommend this book to my friends and relatives!

Why didn't I find out about these books before? Being an ALADDIN fan, I really enjoyed this one. Jasmine and four other girls share characteristics like those of the Disney princesses, but Jasmine is the odd-girl-out with no best-best friend, and when a new girl, Isabelle, arrives, Jasmine starts to become hopeful...maybe she's even a Disney Girl! Great way to start a series!

I picked his book out in Disney World, because it looked good. This is one of the best series I have ever read. The book is about a girl named Jasmine and she is supposed to be like Princess Jasmine. The other Princess's are Belle, Ariel,Snow White, Cinderella, and Pocahantous. My faverite princess is Belle.

I love the Disney Girls! I decided to read this book on a trip mostly because it was In at the library (when I read a series, I like to read them in order) and because I couldn't find anything else. I am SO GLAD that I couldn't, because these books are SO COOL!!!

A little boy who doesn't like to read much is entranced by these Jack Sparrow books. They're well written for kids with a sense of adventure. Like the Hardy Boys or a dozen other series before them, they deliver a consistent and familiar character in cleverly worked plots. The one thing I'd like to change would be to add few more illustrations. All you get here is the illustration on the cover.

I bought these books for my 12yr old daughter. She's a huge POTC fan & has gobbled these books down. Now she has the whole set (9 in all). She enjoyed them immensely & wishes more were available.

My grandson loves Jack Sparrow, and so for his birthday we got him two books. He was delighted and now has the entire set. It's wonderful when you can see enthusiam about reading with all the electronic distractions that there are.

We are just starting on this book, the 5th in the series and a start of a new adventure for the young explorers. "Captain (please!)" Jack Sparrow and his crew seek a well-deserved rest after their experience with the Sword of Cortes, only to find themselves in the middle of another mystery and at the heart of the wrath of one of their crewmate's village! This book is another page turner that leaves my son begging for the next chapter and the next book in the series! Perfect for us die-hard POTC fans!

I've read the entire series so far (Vol. 1-7) to my nine year old son. It's something we share-our love for Captain Jack Sparrow and the crew of The Barnacle. The entire series is funny and exciting. It is so easy to picture Jack Sparrow as a teenager. I can't wait for Volume 8!!!

I am in love with these postcards. They come in a beautiful box with a ribbon all the way under th postcards so they lift out perfectly. The pictures are crisp and fun to look at. It is funny to see some of the movie posters from different countries that are included as postcards. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because the top postcard, which is a picture of a bug, arrived with a red stain across the middle from where the ribbon had rested. There is a blank red card at the bottom which would have worked as a perfect protector on the top. Otherwise, they are WONDERFUL. They are almost too perfect to use for my new postcard hobby. I may have to get another set.

These are some sturdy postcards. They also showcase some of Pixar's best work. Many of the concept art postcards are so pretty that they ended up on my wall rather than going out in the mail.

No way to explain what a delight these were. The huge surprise was to find out some of these are the artist's sketches. What a total treasure. I have never been so happy with a set of postcards before. These are a collector's item and now I find myself not wanting to send them out.

I am very pleased with these cards - sketches, posters & scenes from movies. I will have fun sending these. And, 100! What a price for 100 cards!

This was a great set of postcards, real high quality paper stock. My intention was to use them to mail to my nephew away at school, but once my kids saw the cards, they all took some for their walls to hang. With 100 cards there is plenty to go around. My favorite is the old man from the toy story shorts...

Catch up on your knowledge, or review what you know. Fun series of all that's Disney.

This is a great book about Disney Company. It goes chronologically from 1901 to 1999 and beyond. Every event in the company's history is put in the book, but without much detail.
Since he maintains Disney Archives, Dave Smith could have done a litle better, like he did with Disney's Encyclopedia.

This book was excellent! It had terrific pictures and it told from 1901 when Walt was born until 2001. It is a great keepsake. I purchased mine at Walt Disney World during the 100 Years of Magic celebration.

I really enjoyed this book. It is packed with lots of great photographs and artwork from Walt Disney and the Disney Company. It also has a really nice overview of the life of Walt Disney and the work of the Disney Company in text.

I appreciated the organization of the book. The book is arranged chronologically, which helped me to understand the flow of events better. This book has a very upbeat, positive tone and paints a very bright and exciting future for the Disney Company.

This book does not contain nearly as much information about Walt Disney as some of the biographies that I have read, but I don't think that was the goal of this book. This book does a very nice job of chronicling the art and the work of this great American icon and then continues the chronology with the work of the Disney Company in the post Walt era.

This book starts with very early Disney and takes the reader all the way through to Fantasia 2000. This is an excellent coffee table book. I highly recommended it to anyone that loves Walt, his work and the continuing work of the Disney Company.

This 213 page book is just full of an endless supply of full color photos of everything Disney for the past 100 years. You'll learn all about Walt's early life and how his ideas created worldwide Disney worlds. Each chapter covers a decade from 1901 to 2001 !! Many of these pictures are archival and never made available before. The book provides many memories for "children" of all ages. It's a keeper. Enjoy !

Disney does a great job with their Fairy books. Each story teaches children things; not to lie, etc. My daughter loves to read them and now has her friends reading them too.

My nine year old daughter loves books about Tinkerbell and all her friends. She absolutely devours them as soon as I get them. What a boost for her imagination!

We own all of this series! Started reading them when my daughter was 4 (she just turned 5 now), and they are age appropriate. Not too scary and always a happy ending. One book only takes us about 4-5 nights worth of reading together. The longer ones are good too "Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg" and "Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand", but they are a little bit scarrier than the short books (more appropriate for ages 5-7 I would think).

Opinion: I liked this book more than The Trouble with Tink, but not as much as I liked Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg and Vidia and the Fairy Crown though. Lily is much better than I imagined her to be and so is her story. Lily's friend Iris is funny and sensitive, making the story have a deeper meaning than just what you're expecting. This made the sory mean more to me.

Summery: Lily is on a walk, she told her "friend" Iris she was looking for possum ferns just to get away from her. Although she does see a possum fern, she also finds a strange seed. Being a garden talent fairy, Lily can't help but plant it. Since Iris dosn't have a garden, Lily decides to let Iris help her out. But, although Lily and Iris would be heart broken to uproot the plant, they might not be able to help it. Although all the garden talent fairies are trying to defend her, Queen Clarion and the other fairies want it uprooted now! But, the garden talant fairies and Tinker Bell can't outnumber the rest of the fairies, so they might lose, especially if Vidia can help it. Vidia hates this "vile" plant. But is it really what they thought it was? This will ever puzzle them by the mysterious plants likeing and life cycle.

Reporter's Opinion: I thought that this was one of those books that you can't put down no matter what! I really couldn't put it down, so I read it all in one night! I was a really, really great book!

Summary: Lily is one of the best Garden-talent fairies in all of Pixie Hollow. When she was walking in the forest, she found a seed that she never heard of. She decided to plant it in her garden. The next day after she planted it, all of Pixie Hollow smelled bad because of it. The next day, it let off pink pollen that made everyone and everything in Pixie Hollow pink and sneeze. The fairies and sparrow men were about to cut it down, but Lily said to let it live one more day. That evening, it grew fruit. She tried it, and it was delicious. Lily told the fairies and sparrow men to try it, and they all loved it! After you pi a fruit, another one comes in it's place. Lily asked her Garden-talent fairy friend, Iris what kind of tree it was. Iris looked in her book and it was an Ever Tree. All of them were destroyed, but now they know that there is one left. Everyone comes to get fruit from it. It was a good plant after all!

The artwork in this Gargoyles comic is excellent. I am impressed with the level of detail in the artwork. It almost reminds me of why I liked the TV show so much. However, I noticed when I was reading through the comic that Elisa and Goliath were going to break up. I really didn't like that part. Overall, I would rate the book as excellent.

At long last a new cannon story, frankly I feared greatly that what I had would dissapoint me, and ruin gargoyles for me. I should have known that my fears were completely unjustified. This was fantastic, and makes me eagarly await issue four in May.

Finally, with issue #3 "Inviation Only" comes brand new storyline from creator Greg Weisman. The story continues as Xanatos begins "Phase 1" of his plan to have the Gargoyles become socially acceptable by throwing a Halloween party. Of course, there is no party this issue. Feelings need to be sorted out between Goliath and Elisa first, while the Illuminati has their hand in the police's plans, Xanatos' plans and John Castaway's plans. Their true motive remains a mystery. Their presence and Thailog's appearance leave us with the suspense of wanting more! This comic is a must have for any fan and now is the perfect time for those new to the series to grab this issue, as well as issues #1 & #2.

This is the first new storyline for Gargoyles in over 12 years! And it doesn't dissapoint. If you ever saw the television show and liked it, you have to read this comic book, because the story continues...

Not only are all the old characters back, there are a few new faces as well. The love story between Goliath and Elisa continues, the hate of the Quarrymen is still there, the Illuminate are back (Hacker as their representative), the Brookly, Angela, and Broadway triangle is coming into its own, and an old nemesis is back and taking over the Labyrinth! How could you not want to read this?

There are supposed to be 12 issues all together. The next 4 have already been written and named. #4 Masque, #5 Bash, #6 Reunion, & #7 The Rock. And coming soon will be the mini series of BAD GUYS. Don't pass these up!

The first new canon story in eleven years, and I enjoyed every page of it. I have not been this excited for a comic book in a long time, and I read a lot of comic books.

This was clearly part one, and thus some set-up needed, and having to remind readers who the Clones and the Mutates are and where they came from. But, understandable. Very understandable. The series has not been in the public eye for a long time, and the Clones and the Mutates are not as well know as the main cast, Xanatos and Demona.

I loved Martin Hacker in this issue, playing everyone, telling everybody what they want to hear. Matt, of course, does not seem to trust him at all. Xanatos seemed benignly annoyed, but I'm guessing he should have taken Mr. Duval's phone call in #2. Castaway seemed pleasantly surprised to see him, but why wouldn't he be? They set him up with this new gig, and are telling him what he wants to hear. Personally, I think Hacker is lying to all three of them, and the Illuminati has something else planned.

Speaking of Castaway, he has a nice appearance here, behaving sane and not like a raving lunatic, as many in the fandom seem to think he behaves as 24/7. I'll blame TGC for that. Here, he was rational, and wisely giving an order for the Quarrymen to be unarmed this night. Hoods, yes. Hammers, no. It's Halloween, and it makes sense to keep the weapons at home so an overzealous Quarryman doesn't bring heat and lawsuits down by attacking a trick or treater in a gargoyle mask. I wonder, if that is the same Chaz that was one of Fang's flunkies in "Kingdom"?

Already knew Xanatos would be visiting the White House thanks to the solicitations, should be interesting to see what he's up to there, with the Illuminati.

Jason Canmore's cameo was very welcome, and I'm ruling him out as Elisa's date. Morgan actually asked her out, Jason is handcuffed to a bed and obviously bitter. Hope to see more of him. But, it seems so far that every time he enters the picture, Goliath and Elisa have problems. Which brings me to...

Goliath & Elisa - The emotional meat of the story. Their talk did not disappoint. Elisa was nothing but reasonable and realistic. This is not like dating and hoping for a future with someone of a different race and/or religion. Goliath and Elisa are different species. It would not make sense if she wasn't having second thoughts. Yeah, we know they'll end up together, but it shouldn't be easy. Good stuff, good stuff.

Poor Brooklyn, having to watch Broadway and Angela make nice, and then try to work up the nerve to ask Delilah out, only for Goliath to beat him to her. Though, the way Goliath looks, he'd probably have preferred to let Brooklyn have her.

"Thirty-six", "Thirty-two". That's gotta be a reference to something, I just know it.

Nice cliffhanger ending, with Thailog bursting into the Labyrinth, guns blazing. Makes me all the more eager to read #4... gotta wait till May.

And, Demona. Great to see her again, she's always been my favorite. Even if it's only for one page, and with no dialogue. Aw well, I'm hopeful we'll see her again very soon.

Story was very good.

The Art, well, let's just say I'm looking forward to the next three issues without David Hedgecock's pencils. Nir Paniry is drawing #4, I really, really can't wait to see what Karine Charlebois and Steph Lostimolo (The Dream Team) have in store for us with #5, and I've seen enough of Gordon Purcell's work to expect #6 to look pretty good.

Greg Guler's pencils and Steph's colors brought us another gorgeous cover.

I definitely recommend it.

The book is a really good reference on Disney records. The color pictures are a really nice addition.

This book is for hard core collectors of Walt Disney records on vinyl and in that respect it is indespensible. There is plenty of material for the Disney amateur historians too. The real treat for all the rest of us is 250 plus color photos of album covers and recordings. It's enough to give anyone the collecting bug. A very complete guide hat lists all of the Walt Disney record even on other labels. Lists picture discs, Little Golden Books, soundtracks to movies and TV shows, storybooks, and material from Disneyland. Includes EP's, 33 1/3 LPs, 45's, and 78's including alll records from 1933 to 1988. Functional table of contents and index help to locate items in the book. Very useful material on accurate grading the condition of records. A short history on the history of Disney records is in the book, an animated film filmography, and the music composers for all of Disney on film is very useful. Softbound covers, no dust jacket, 256 pages in length.

If you are also interested in the process, the how and why of the music of Disney, you also need to read the wonderful book, "The Musical World of Walt Disney" by David Tietyen.

I enjoy this book alot - it's complete and chock-full of useful information concerning the collection of Disney Records. Of course the prices are something to behold too (I figure I have about $50,000 (hyperbole) in my collection). The guide is very well organized and the individual entries usually consist of a picture, record number, brief description (at least enough to identify a particular cover version) and price. The guide even goes so far as to identify non-Disney labels issuing Disney material.

I wish the guide went into deeper discussions of the various Disney labels and the inner sleeves. I have several examples of, say, a Buena Vista label, and between the two BV labels, they are different! Which one to collect? Sometimes the guide falls a little short, but not often enough to prevent me from recommending this book for the serious collector or even the curious weekender.

Overall, to me, it's a valuable reference and fun to ponder. Now it's always a thrill to find a Disney record and read about some of the history behind it.

Happy hunting...

This is an invaluable resource for Disney record collectors. Beautiful pictures and detailed discriptions of every record the Disney company ever released. The prices listed might seem high, unless you remember that they are only for records in near perfect condition. I have already bought 2 copies.

This softbound 256 page book is a handy 6 x 9" making it convenient to take with you as you antique. It contains more than 250 full color, sharp photos of album covers and recordings. This is the first comprehensive price guide and discography covering the complete output of Disney recorded music on both Disney and other labels. It covers the years 1933 to 1988 and is very complete. There is a useful table of contents and index making it easy to locate items. A history and condition guide is provided. Topics range from LPs, 45's, 78's to Little Golden Records. You can't collect items of this topic without this guide. Add it to your library.

A beautiful book, recently republished, that my grown children and husband remember fondly from their childhoods. I was delighted to be able to get it for my grandchildren because it deals so well with senior adults and death. We always say at our house, when sunset lights the sky, that Grandpa Bunny Bunny has been hard at work.

I was given this beautiful book by my "Grandpa", when I was a little girl. This book has timeless messages about life and death. Grandpa Bunny was like my Beloved Grandpa and taught me to love nature. My grandfather passed away many years ago, but this poignant book always reminds me of him, and brings back wonderful memories!
I am so happy that this book is available new again, so other children can enjoy this precious tale! : )

I read this book as a child in the 1950's. When my children were born in the 1980s I could not find the book as it was out of print. The book was reprinted in 2007 I bought belated copies for my 20-something daughters, plus ones for my mother and sister. A classic.

The illustrations are enchanting. The story tells of Grandpa Bunny who loves to tell stories to the children in the evening. Grandpa also teaches the bunnies about the value of hard work and is always looking for new ways to make the forest more beautiful...he teaches them to paint the autumn leaves and the spring flowers.

But the thing that really stands out is that the story helps to explain Death to children in a very lovely way. As long as you belong to a Faith that believes in an Afterlife, this book will help you explain to children that we never really die--part of us goes on.

I had this book when I was a child. After Grandpa Bunny dies, the little bunnies are not so sad because they see his work each evening--Grandpa Bunny paints the sunsets. Every time I see a sunset, I think of Grandpa Bunny and of my loved ones that are no longer here. Grandpa Bunny gets a lot of help with those sunsets. ;)

This little book is a classic: poignant, touching and beautiful. A memorable story that teaches respect and love for elders, that will grab little ones' attention and have you re-reading it for yourself. My kids grew up on it and I bought a new copy for the grandkids; I was so glad to find it still in print.

This box-set came in just two days. and in an amazing shape. no damage or nothing.

Makes a perfect read and the illustrations are simply amazing. Its funny, and interesting all in one. If your interested in any type of fantasy games, especially final fantasy or kingdom hearts, this will be the perfect addition!!

What is there to say? Well first off, the animation was fantastic. The perfect combo of anime-manga styling, humorous and yet serious when necessary. The dialogue was to die for. The scenarios fit well and it filled in all the missing pages of the series for me. (no pun intended)

I didn't feel like digging up my lost KH:CoM game and get used to the battle system all over again so I opt to just buy the manga. Didn't regret it one bit! I recommend purchasing the manga whether you're a lazy gamer like me or not. XD

I bought it as a gift for a friend, she seemed to like it so Im guessing its a good item. It beats having to go through the stupid GBA game anyway.

This was an excellent starter pack of Volume 1 and 2 Kingdom Hearts novels. My daughter about knocked me over with excitement on Christmas when she opened these up. The shipment came on time and was in perfect shape.
