A must read title for Disney fans. However, for most of the populations this title will slightly miss the mark.

One of my favorites! this book just makes Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse come to life, it takes you behind the scenes on how it all started! I loved it! its a MUST READ for anyone who loves Mickey Mouse and Disney.

I recieved this copy from Netgalley for exchange for my honest opinions/reviews.

Excellent, detailed look at the evolution of Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters. Lots of intriguing historical information about Mickey Mouse, a must read for any Disney lover.

I really enjoyed this! I am a very big, Disney fan who is also an animation student, so this was great to pick up and get stuck into!
There is a lot of great history, facts and articles in 'A Mickey Mouse Reader' showcasing Mickey Mouse from his very beginnings.
I wouldn't say that it is only for animation fans, this book is really great for lovers of Disney or even the film industry in general!

This is not a coffee book of pictures about Mickey Mouse, this book is a reader like the title. You get a very short concise history of how Mickey came into creation after Walt Disney and the rest of his team were pushed away from the Oswald cartoon character. There are books that go into this with great detail. Any way on his return trip with his wife across country from New York back to California she suggested that he decide what character to work on when they get home to California. They settled on a mouse which became Mickey. Which led to Steamboat Willie and as they say the rest is history. This book takes you from Steamboat Willie through the changes and the adding of different characters, Donald Duck, Minnie, Pluto, ETC... This is a very well written book and done in chronological order and the author gives credit to the artists as well which is good. Overall I have no completes and being a Disney person I thought this book to be well done.

I did not review this book, as I was unable to complete it. Thank you for the opportunity.
