Disney's the Little Mermaid (Disney's Read Along Collection) Review
User Submitted Disney's the Little Mermaid (Disney's Read Along Collection) ReviewsAugust 18, 2008 Ok, but not great. I bought these read along books (as well as the Lion King and Pixar sets) for my 4 year old daughter because I wanted to find something similar to the Disney Read Along books I had as a child. I loved the narration, pictures, and songs in the original Disney sets. Unfortunately, these aren't the same at all. There are far too many sentences on each page so that a non-reader will easily lose track of where the story is in relation to the pictures. In other words, there aren't enough pictures to go with the story, given how many words there are. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, there are no songs. The songs are part of what make these Disney stories/movies so charming and it's incredibly disappointing not to have them. My daughter will sit and listen to these, but doesn't love them as much as the Curious George complete collection she has with the stories on CD. If you have an older child 5 or 6, these may work better. For 4 and under, I'd find something else. July 31, 2008 Perfect length for little ones but watch the quality... My two year old loved Disney's "little mermaid" so I wanted to get her some books for bedtime reading, and these are the perfect length. The CD will be good for car trips or later for her to read along to, and my older nephew enjoyed trying it out to the two year old's delight. Unfortunately I have found a couple misprints, particularly one page that shows an image from a totally different part of the story. Expected a little better quality from Disney, but wrote the publisher and got no reply at all. Hmm. Still in all a great collection for the money, I just hope the books hold up till she is older. July 5, 2008 Feeling of Independence My daughter loved the feeling of independence getting to "read" these books by herself (following along with the CD). Good purchse, but they will only use them a few times until it gets old. Then they re-discover them in another few months. March 28, 2007 Wonderful addition to our little girls collection! These are the best read alongs that I have found. My daughter (turned 4 in Jan) reads these in her room ALL the time! She likes to "read along" at night even after we read other stories & then sometimes when she wakes up before everyone else - she will listen & read along. I am planning on taking them for a flight as well (vs the DVD). Dont hesitate to buy the "Toy Box Innovations" stories!
