This is a cute board book for the purpose of introducing Disney characters. It's a VERY condensed version of the Lion King story. My son is 2 & it's condensed to an age-appropriate level of words to listen to. However, the story is so condensed that it's really not that interesting as a story. My son does like it though... but you would only buy this book if you really want to introduce the characters to your child (especially if you were taking a trip to Disney soon). The story itself is not that fascinating. However, my son does like to see the zebras, giraffes, ostriches, etc.
These Disney Little Golden Books are a good compact book choice for traveling. The story is fairly long. I will say that when the major events of the Lion King are highlighted you realize how many animals die at the hands of family members.
I love this series for my 2 year old daughter and she asks for these board books every night before bed. They are the abridged versions of the stories but the attention span of a 2 year old barely makes it through these small books. I bought the used copy of this book and the quality was actually really good.
I purchased this book for my son for his 1st birthday coming up in a few months. I decided to do his room in the Lion King babies, and he loves it. So I figured he'd love having Mommy read the book to him. The Lion King was always one of my favorite books and movies when I was a child growing. This book goes right along with the movie.
ISBN Walt Disney's The Lion King (5 stars) - This is now the third Disney version of The Lion King that I've read, I thought I'd found the best of them in Disney's The Lion King (A Golden Look-Look Book). I stand corrected with this one. Although it's small, nearly pocket sized, and it's one of those "novelties", with a pillowed hardcover, this edition is better than the rest (so far!). For the sake of comparison I will, again, merge the reviews.This third edition is, by far, the smoothest flowing storytelling I've found to date. Leaving out almost nothing, from the beginning to the end, it captures every important moment, running them fluidly together. This makes a much more complete and easy to follow - and enjoy! - story. Brimar's edition seems to be author-less, sadly, so it won't be possible for me to hunt down anything else from the writer - which is only one of two negatives I can find here. The other is that the text is a little small and the font not great.The first edition I reviewed: The Lion King (Wonderful World of Reading) by Walt Disney Company (4 stars) - This is the Disney's Wonderful World of Reading edition of The Lion King. Because there are so many, and they vary so much, I think it's important not to confuse them. Some parents might be reluctant to introduce their child to the story because of the murder of Simba's father and the later killing of Scar. If that's a concern for you, this book might be best passed by for now.The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, even a step above Disney's usual standard excellence. The story is very slightly disjointed because it's condensed, but the high points are covered and those who have seen the movie will have no trouble following. On the other hand, those who haven't seen the movie might not even notice what's missing! Either way, a chance to read with your child should never be missed and a wonderful Disney tale is always worthwhile.Disney's The Lion King (A Golden Look-Look Book) (5 stars) - This is the second version of Disney's The Lion King that I've read. All three tell the same story, but this one is a bit better. Hover's adaptation includes more detail and flows more smoothly. The illustrations by the team of Judy Barnes and Robbin Cuddy are very good and the mood of the moment is captured in fantastic colors.Simba's birth is cause for celebration in the jungle - the future king is presented to one and all, and all show up. Except, that is, Scar. Scar is Simba's uncle, brother of King Mufasa and, until Simba's birth, next in line for the throne. Scar hatches several plans to get rid of Simba and reclaim his place, finally resorting to killing his brother and encouraging Simba to give in to his guilt and run away.Befriended by Timon and Pumbaa, Simba grows to his full size. He misses his loved ones and, thanks to a chance encounter with his childhood friend Nala and the guidance of Rafiki, Simba returns home to take back his place as king.- AnnaLovesBooks
Pages larger than cover. Good story line. Nice pictures. Wouldn't take that much to make it perfect -- simply cut the pages smaller so they don't stick out of the book and be more likely to be torn or crushed. Granddaughter didn't seem to mind.
Always been a fan of Little Golden Books / Disney and shared The Lion King with not only my daughter (whose an adult now ;)), nephews (they LOVE The Lion King) and now my GrandBaby!!! Planning on completing my daughter's collection - who has most originals....for my little Prince!
This is a great book. This book teaches children about the animals that you would see in a zoo. It also teaches responsibility and sadly to say about death. This book also teaches children about what animals are like in the wild. This book has a great story line and it will keep children interested the whole way through the book.
