Walt Disney is an artist who created Mickey Mouse. As time went on, he began to create cartoons and movies that consisted of color and sound. Walt Disney won plenty of awards for his cartoons and movies. Walt Disney also created famous amusement parks around the world. Those amusement parks are still open today. This is a great story for all ages because it starts with the topic of "Who is Walt Disney?" then walks you through his family and how he started out just drawing cartoons, and ends with talking about his creations and awards that he had won throughout his life.

Prior to reading this book, the only knowledge I knew about Walt Disney is that he created Disney World and Disneyland.

Although Walt passed away, his company still successfully made his dream a reality by using his original characters and creating the fun environment for families to Visit just like Walt Disney intended.… (more)
