This is about Walt Disney and how he created his iconic Disney empire. Walt Disney grew up on a farm in Missouri and was always entertaining people. He was rejected many times as a cartoonist before he became the great creator that he is known for today. He and his brother Roy noticed a lack of animation studios in the California area and decided to fill the void with their own studio. This eventually became the Walt Disney Studios that we all know today.
The only illustration in this book is the cover page, which is a colorful caricature of Disney in front of a castle.
Because Walt Disney is such an iconic celebrity for families, students will find the story of his life interesting and inspiring. The absence of pictures may deter younger readers, but seeing as the book is not very long, I think it is suitable for many age groups.
