Review quotes
"The Story of Walt Disney emphasizes that the road toward greatness takes hard work and support from others. It wasn't always easy, but Walt and his brother, Ron, found a way together. All of Disney's success is due to hard work and perseverance. This biography is perfect for young ones' introduction into nonfiction. It's geared toward 6- to 9-year-olds but appropriate for any age. I especially loved how the "jump in the think tank" prompts young readers to apply what they learned to their own lives. The illustrations are charming and nostalgic. This book would be a wonderful addition to any home or classroom library." —Lisa Borny, Bookstagrammer, mother of two, and avid reader
