Mickey's Alphabet Soup

ISBN 1885222769 - Every opportunity to introduce a child to a book is a good thing - doing it with old friends like Disney and Mickey Mouse is just a little bit nicer. I've always been fond of Disney's sets of books and if this title is an indication of what the rest of the series has in store, buy them all! Mickey and Minnie plan to enter an alphabet soup contest. The rules? The first ingredient starts with A, the last starts with Z and the rest of the alphabet in between. Oh, and be at the park at 2:30! Goofy, excited about the contest, wants to enter too and makes his own soup. While Mickey and Minnie use food items, Goofy uses pretty much anything that fits the letter he needs. Of course, Mickey and Minnie's soup is more edible... but Goofy's is more fun! Goofy - and only Goofy - would put a jack-in-the-box, jacks and a jump rope in his soup. The first in this 18 book series (Read and Grow Library) from Disney, this is a large hardcover book and the beautiful, bright and colorful illustrations take up a majority of each page - kids will love them and you'll both enjoy the sometimes tongue-twisting tale of Mickey's Alphabet Soup. Best of all, they'll learn the alphabet almost without realizing it!
