Title of Book: Disney's Treasury of Children's Classics
Author: N/A
Author's Bio: N/A
# of pages: 421

The cover of the book is gold and presents picture of some of the characters from the stories like Snow White, Aladdin, Pinocchio, Simba & Timon , and Beauty & the Beast.

The book in all its glory.
(Because there were so many stories, I chose Beauty & The Beast to use to answer the following questions.)

Characters:
  • Prince/Beast
  • Enchantress
  • Belle
  • Gaston
  • Maurice
  • Mrs. Potts
  • Chip
  • Lumiere
  • Cogsworth


The setting happens in a town and castle in "a faraway land."

Because of her father's actions, Belle is forced to live in a castle with a Beast. Scared at first, she beginnings to grow frond of him- love him. A pursuer of Belle's becomes jealous of her feelings towards the Beast and stabs him- Belle realizes she loves the dying Beast, tells him, and he turns into a handsome prince upon this confession of love. And they all lived HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

(I reverted back to talking about the book in general from here on out...)

Favorite Quote:
"Oh, please don't leave me." Belle pleaded. She rested her head on his chest and sobbed. "I love you."

I think this book would be appropriate for ages 5+ because there are lots of words used on each individual page.

I would have LOVED this book as a kid because DISNEY. And DISNEY is life. <3

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
