We have kids from ages 7-11 in our home and they are on very different reading levels with very different interests. As always, Disney reaches all of them (and even their father and I who are both 32). We can always seem to find books that grab us and pull us into the story (with a little tugging of heart strings as well).
Our 7 year old loves...
Cloud Country: This is one of the Pixar animator showcase books and as you could guess the imagery and imagination make it an instant hit with our outgoing, never-stops-singing girl.
Our 9 year old loves...
The Princess, the Scoundrel and the Farm Boy: A classic retelling of the first saga the world ever laid eyes on from the greatest space opera of all time. Star Wars, A New Hope, is just one of the books in this series. Perfect for fans (especially those who are anxiously awaiting the release of the newest movie!
Our 11 year old loves...
Star Darlings: This is the first in a series where each book introduces new characters. We first spotted this book on a shopping trip to Justice and I saw it catch her eye. The cover art is beautiful and the whimsical tale made for something we could probably have read aloud to both girls.
I've got my sights on...
Black Widow Forever Red: I love Marvel and love the new expansions now that Disney is the happy owner of the franchises, however, I tend to gravitate towards movies that are a little more legend-based and books that are more realistic. This is a nice mix about a character I knew very little about! I have only just cracked it open but it seems to be in the tradition of the Mary Jane book released back when I was in college.
Their Fractured Light: Thanks to a preview copy Disney sent me of These Broken Stars I am hooked on this series! I am actually setting off re-reading the first book before I dive in. I can't wait and will post all my thoughts to both books on my Goodreads account!
We ALL love...
Olaf's Night Before Christmas: Everyone Loves Olaf!
Once a weekend we are usually taking a long car trip thanks to our lovely location in the middle of the woods in northwest CT. We generally have reading time or read aloud before bed but books on CD are awesome ways to break up the monotony of a car trip. This one is fabulous because its an adorable Olaf-spin on a classic and everyone's favorite snowperson narrates!
I always love seeing how a franchise like Frozen isn't cheapened but continues to add magic to our home. Happy Holidays from Picturing Disney and Disney Publishing!
