Disney book ? for the kids to learn about some characters

[caroline1851]

I realized that my kids don't know the story of snow white, beauty and the beast, LIttle Mermaid, etc. They don't even know who Chip n Dale are or Pluto.
Is there a book that you would recommend that I could buy so the kids know a few more stories before we go next month?

THanks a bunch!!

disney has tons of compilation books http://disneybooks.disney.go.com/books/0786835230.html
head to the library & rent some. also take a look at the sing a long song videos they have a few at disney with the live characters. i always like "meet me in the magic kingdom" too which is a book about a family going to magic kingdom which is cute.

How old are your children? Older kids may appreciate the guide book written specifically for kids, but if they're preschoolers there are Disney Little Golden Books available http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/disney/lgb/

Are you a TV and movie free family? I ask because DS (2.5) likes the books very much but LOVES watching the movies and Playhouse Disney shows. I also got him the Disneyland sing along video, and a CD of music from the parks in preparation. He knows more of the "Yo Ho" pirate song lyrics than I do!

I just go a Disney character book for my birthday this past weekend. It is called "Files of Character from The Walt Disney Studios Disney Dossiers" by Jeff Kurtti. It has all of the characters with their descriptions, pictures, movies their in, and much more info. It loks to be a really great book.

We also enjoy playing Disney Guess Who? and Disney Memory before trips. We used to make DH play with us & if he couldn't name the character & the movie, he didn't get to keep his match.

How old are your children? just go to your local library & see what books they have available. have them watch disney films. Disney is all over the place.

I had the same problem. I found 2 hardback books at Kmart. They each came with 200 stickers. Disney Bedtime Favorites and Disney Storybook Collection. Between the 2 of them they have Disney traditional stories and Pixar characters. My boys love them. Even the stories about the princesses. Well worth buying.

There is a series of books called "Little Golden Books". They have well over a dozen Disney books... http://www.randomhouse.com/kids/disney/lgb/ and they're all 2.99. I bought my little about 10 of them.

there is a good book but i doubt it is available for purchased(check Ebay or Library) called Junior Encyclopedia of Disney(not sure if it is exact) but it listed all the characters and had a page about them
