Young readers who revel in the devious actions of Disney’s villains will find much to appreciate here. Eight of the vilest villains . . . The Wicked Queen-Witch, Jafar, Cruella De Vil, Captain Hook, Maleficent, Stromboli, Ursula, and Gaston . . . are at their most sinister. Each encounter offers readers a poem and recounting of the height of their villainy; full-color illustrations accompany each section, and young readers will be delighted to see the mug shot for each of the dastardly evil-doers.

Return to the magic of each film and relive each character’s moments of weakness . . . it’s great fun for Disney fans young and old.

Highly recommended. ( )
