I bought this book for my grandson when he was about 3 years old...It was amazing that a child so
young would sit and watch this three hours movie mesmorized...His love for the book was no less...
He knew all the characters in the movie and the names of the actors who played them...I believe this
is a testament to how lovely the movie and this book are...
The pictures are vivid and beautiful, the
depiction of how the movie was written and made and of the same value...
I highly recommend this
to anyone who loved and enjoyed this movie as much as we did...I recently re-purchased it as the
much worn and much loved book met it's fate in a fire a few years ago...
So I bought it for my grandson
again and he was so happy....Beautiful book and well done....
