The Man behind the Magic: The Story of Walt Disney

This is a great book to read if you are doing a report on Walt Disney. It offers a lot of information on Walt in an easy reading level. Easy reeding, fun book!!!

I am evaluating the book, the Man Behind the Magic, a biography of Walt Disney, by Katharine and Richard Greene. The section about Walt's family is very interesting because you learn so much about his dreams and his life. and now I know so much of the "inside information" about his schools, teachers, and friends. The next section is about Walt and how his small animating and movie-making business flourished. The last section is centered on the Disney theme parks, Walt's new family, and "looking into the future." My favorite section was the last because it told of so many things about E.P.C.O.T. (Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow) and his other thoughts. In this section, you can really compare and contrast his ideas and if they became a reality or not. The way this book was organized was exceptionally helpful and never confusing or hard to read. It was organized chronologically in chapters. "Extras" that made the book pleasurable reading were the book flap, which showed a quick summary of the book, and the index. Another "extra" is the table of contents, which was very helpful. I would also like to emphasize the pictures. I thought that they were quite remarkable. I believe all of the points in this book were strong and fascinating. Overall, I think this book is fabulous and wonderful. It covers most, almost all of Walt's life and the organization. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes any of the Disney theme parks, or anyone who enjoys his cartoons, movies, and shows.

A great book to read if you're looking to read about Walt. It'll keep your interest. No Disney Nut is complete without it

Written in a clear and sparkling style, this book should appeal to readers of all ages who are interested in the origins of the Disney phenomenon. Also, a great gift for families who enjoy visiting the Disney amusement parks.
