Grace Norwich delivers an interesting, and inspiring book about the life of the famous Walt Disney. I was anxious to gift this incredible, amazing book to my daughter, who admires Walt Disney, like millions of others throughout the world. as a 'special needs' child with learning disabilities, her attention span was excellent as we read through this book together. To my daughter, this book is a 'keepsake' that she will treasure. For myself, I also admire Walt Disney, so this was a great conversational piece for quality time well spent. After 8 visits to Disney World from N.Y. to Orlando, and a trip to Disneyland, we were able to remember the great achievements of Walt Disney.The author highlights Walt Disney's life from childhood, to his huge success. She discusses his extraordinary imagination, and great curiosity that led him to become a cartoonist. Included in the delightful pages of this book, Grace Norwich discusses Walt Disney's career as an animator; film producer; director; screenwriter; and more. In addition, the author tells about Walt Disney's voice, his acting, Walt Disney as an entrepreneur and entertainer.
