Sleeping Beauty (Little Golden Book) Review
User Submitted Sleeping Beauty (Little Golden Book) ReviewsMay 18, 2008 pale pictures the book does not inspire the child mainly because of pale pictures. It gives the impretion as though the bppk has been salvaged from flood. January 28, 2008 Share the magic! The beautiful story of Sleeping Beauty that children have loved for generations is brought to life in this classic edition with original Disney art. In essence, if you are a Walt Disney fan who wants to share the magic with the children in your circle of friends and family, don't miss out on the wonderful Little Golden Book! January 10, 2008 Over all, the original makes a lot more sense. My almost 3-year-old daughter seems to like this story. She loves the pretty baby and when Maleficent appears, she points at Maleficent and says, "she is naughty." :) Illustrations are colorful and pretty. The length is perfect for my daughter. The size is good for her little hands too. But every time I read it, I wonder why the fairies didn't keep the Princess until AFTER Princess' 16th birthday. Isn't keeping her safe from Maleficent more important than just keeping her away from the handsome stranger? Or did she get pricked after her birthday, even though Maleficent specifically said, "before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday"? If you have watched the DVD, this book may seem to flow well, but if you haven't, you may be confused on why fairies did some things their way. Later on, those "good" fairies hide their mess-up when they couldn't keep the Princess safe. There was a kind reason behind it, but as a mother, I want to teach my daughter to be truthful even if the truth made me sad. Any parents should understand that even if they try their best, they sometimes can't stop unfortunate events from happening, right? I also stop when I read those names, "the Shield of Virtue and the Sword of Truth." They sound cool, but the reasons for those namings seem to be missing. They just seemed to be thrown in there. Other things I notice is that families in Disney are too often incomplete. In this story, both parents are luckily alive, but they are helpless and mostly non-existent in their daugher's life. She was gone for 16 years and as soon as she came back, she got married. Many princesses are happily ever after as long as they meet handsome rich men. It seems that their weaknesses pop out more in books without Disney's strengths such as fun songs and smooth animation. In the original, there is a lesson parents can learn with their children. Instead of burning the spindles, the King should have taught the Princess not to touch the spindles. At the same time, children can learn that they should be careful when they touch things out of curiosity. The original may be too lengthy for my daughter at this age, but I think I can wait until she is old enough to understand it. It is fun to be familiarized with Disney princesses, but there are tons of other books that are more suitable for her age. Like I said, this picture book is appealing to the eyes, so I give 4 stars but cannot compare this book to other original classics. May 4, 2006 vilonce notice I was not comfortable about Prince Phillip whell he was okay but way too tough on Maleficent first he wacked maleficent's muzzle with the sword then he K-I-L-L-E-D HER! what sort of a wacko could ever do that to an endangered creature? prince phillip should get arrested by the cops do knights worship themselves? one word c-r-a-z-y! signed by: the Dragon Vilonce Watcher's Team [aka dvwt] April 2, 2006 Sleeping Beauty This is one of my favorite fairy tales because the author maked it like a real store, and I like animal. This is discrifted. I liked the goods fairies because they like to do goods things like one of the fairy tryed to take away the curse but her magic were not strong enough. SO she change the curse. I didn't wanted to be Maleficent because she get angry and gave a cruse to the baby. Thanks for reading my review. September 30, 2005 Sleeping Beauty I've been looking all over for this little book for my neighbor and she was so excited to get it in the mail. Brand New and Perfect. July 21, 2004 A Dream Come True Walt Disney?s Sleeping Beauty Read-Aloud storybook is one of the best I?ve seen. We tried a shorter version that only contained the disastrous surprise birthday party for Briar Rose given by the three fairies. It?s cute, but too short. We?ve also read the longer, more detailed book that was too exhaustive for my preschooler and toddler. But this version is perfect! It provides just enough detail for both parents and children to enjoy. Illustrations are taken directly from the Disney classic movie. I highly recommend it for little princesses everywhere. October 11, 2003 Hail the Princess Aurora! This book goes over the basic parts of the story, the fairies, the princess, the prince, the evil dragon fairy, and the spinning wheel curse.Its very high quality and lacks nothing.
