Blast to the Past #2:
Disney's Dream
Disney's Dream is the second book in the "Blast to the Past" series by Stacia Deutsch and Rhody Cohon. In this imaginative tale, four 3rd grade students, with the aid of their social studies teacher's computer, travel back to 1928 New York. There, they meet Walt Disney and must convince him not to give up on his dream of making Steamboat Willie the first cartoon with sound.
Read UD's book review of Disney's Dream
Order Disney's Dream from Amazon.com
($3.99, paperback, 108 pages, release date: May 31)
This thread can be used for discussion on the book Disney's Dream and of my review.

Well it sounds like an interesting book kind of one of those biopics they do and on a pivotal point in time in the Disney and Cinema story for us filmlovers With children reading some of the behind the scenes "realistic" true life story they might get hooked on the magic of creating animation from a diferent angle than a video talking heads supplement .
Kind of a starters book for completeness in a Disney library collection next to those Art of Disney and indepth biographies maybe?
thanks for bringing it into our attention Luke _________________

I was surprised when I saw this on the front page!
a book?! Very neat, very neat.
But you know what it reminded me of when I saw the cover?
The Magic School Bus and its adventures.
Mkay, so who's gonna start with the Disney library book collection!
Should fit along well with a Disney DVD collection (*cough*MickeyMousePal*cough*)! _________________

Awesome review, Luke! UD + book review = ! It's good to see that you're as apt at reviewing literature as you are at film, television, and technology!
This book looks like a whole lot of fun... just the sort of thing I would have read and loved when I was younger (and will probably read and enjoy at my current age too ).
