Emotional- quite heavy subject matter

Quick yet emotional read

I love this book - brought it then finished it in the car ride home. Very heavy subject matter but dealt with in a skillful and thought evoking way. I cried a lot- still do when i tell friends what its about. It has a picture book type appeal but i suggest you give it a read before giving it to anyone young due to the subject matter it deals with.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated The Mystery of the Missing Peanuts (Disney's Wonderful World of Reading) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

In this well remembered picture book from my childhood, detective Donald is hired to help Mickey find out who is stealing the peanuts from the zoo shed every night. He goes through some rather fun tangents on his way to the real culprits. I loved this as a kid, my niece loves it now, and I enjoyed rereading it to her.

I loved this book I read it before the film came out so the film was pretty disappointing to me as it was so different to the book. The story is gripping right from the start and there is a great amount of backstory so the setting is easy to picture for the reader as well as gives them a greater understanding of what the characters are going through. It is very unique, the characters are well developed and I enjoyed every page.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2099 KP) rated The Animated Man: A Life of Walt Disney in Books

Mar 9, 2018

I found this to be an interesting and balance biography of Walt Disney. The author played media critic a bit too much, which bothered me, but in the end I walked away with a clearer picture of a true American success story.
