Disney Beauty and the Beast: The Charming Gift by Disney Books

Set during the movie before Belle breaks the curse. When Belle finds herself homesick and missing her father, the gang decide to cheer her up by recreating her cherished charm bracelet.

Like most Disney books this is a charming little book. I adore charm bracelets so I loved that Belle owns one and that the gang set out to make it for her. Complimented by the gorgeous illustrations, the bracelet takes shape and Belle is presented with a thoughtful and sentimental gift. Promoting friendship, family and the benefits of working together, the book crafts a positive and wholesome narrative that readers will love.

My favourite part was the convenience of the Royal Jewelry Chamber.

“What are we waiting for?” asked the Beast. “We’ll find everything we need in the Royal Jewelry Chamber. Follow me!”

Books, Disney. Disney Princess: Belle: The Charming Gift (Disney Chapter Book (ebook)) (pp. 33-35). Disney Press. Kindle Edition.

4 stars for target audience, 3 stars for me.… (more)

How to Be a Land Monster (Disney/Pixar Luca)… by RH Disney

I loved this movie so much so I wanted to check out some of the picture books my library got about it. I love the illustrations throughout this book, it reminds me a lot of the vibrant art from the movie. The story was ok, some of it followed closely with the movie, while some of it seemed to reference things that happened in the movie. Because of this I almost feel like it’s a weird mix of part of it being fine to have not watched the movie before reading it and the other part seeming like you wouldn’t understand the characters as much if you haven’t watched it yet.… (more)

Ralph Wrecks This Book! (Disney Wreck-It Ralph 2)… by RH Disney

There are several books out there that follow this same plot of a character that is either stuck in a book, is going to destroy a book, or are otherwise self-aware. I like all of those other books I have read better than I liked this one. This one just didn't really bring anything new to this trope, nor did it really delve into much outside of this plot line. You didn't really get any characterization outside of the obvious that Ralph likes to "Wreck," there was no humor, no meaning outside of the self-aware state of the fictional character, and the artwork was not particularly alluring. And yes, it's a kids book so I am not expecting it to go into some super detailed character development or complex plot points but nonetheless there are too many other excellent kids books out there that do have more depth. All in all, I give Ralph Wrecks This Book! a 1 out of 5 stars.
