...this book might be less confusing. I have wonderful memories of my mother taking us to re-releases of the old Disney classics, made sure to take my own sons to any Disney releases during their childhoods, and wanted to make a point to give our grandsons an opportunity to at least get a taste of all of the great Disney movies (old and new) through a collection of Little Golden Books. For the most part, I've felt these 24 page books have done a nice job condensing an entire film into those pages, maintaining a nice flow and covering the main aspects (which has to be an incredibly difficult task to take on.) I know the 2009 movie this book is based on won and was nominated for a slew of awards - our older grandson was only a year old at the time so we didn't see it, but I did read up on it prior to purchasing the book, and just have to be honest in saying the book felt very choppy and hard to follow. My older grandson was 4 when I read it to him - he LOVES books, and although most of the words are simple enough that he could read portions of this book himself, he appeared to have trouble following the story line which is unusual for him (admittedly, Grandma did too.) I think this might be a book where seeing the movie first would be a good idea - for those considering a purchase, here's the text of the book, and you can judge for yourself:"When Tiana was a little girl, she loved to cook. 'Food brings people together,' Tiana's daddy always said. Tiana had a BIG dream. She wanted to own a restaurant one day. It would have music and good food - and it would bring people together, just as Daddy said. Tiana grew up and worked hard. When she had saved enough money, she tried to buy a place for her own restaurant. The two brokers promised to sell her the old sugar mill.
