Disney My First Stories

Familiar Disney characters give a very young reader a reason to sit still for a story, and this Autumn Publishing collection uses that advantage from the first page. The stories are short, simply told and illustrated in full colour, with gentle plots about friendship, helping and getting along. Reading length is judged for toddlers and preschoolers whose attention spans are still brief, so an adult can finish a tale before restlessness sets in, and the familiar cast makes rereading a pleasure rather than a chore. A closer look: • Short Disney tales chosen for toddler and preschool attention spans • Full-colour illustrations on every spread • Gentle themes of friendship, sharing and problem-solving • Read-aloud text that also suits a child beginning to read alone A good first storybook for toddlers, preschoolers and gift-givers, published by Autumn Publishing and available from Boipoka.
