   We are Disney fans and buy just about anything in print related to Disneyworld or Walt Disney. This book is a great read. My 11 year old son actually requested this book to do his final book project at school this year. They had to dress up and portray the person in the book, so my son slicked his hair back, donned a mustache and suit, and gave his presentation. Because the book was so full of information and facts new to my son, he was enthusiastic to share the information with his class. My husband is currently enjoying the book and I intend to read it when he is done. I recommend the book to any Walt Disney fan.

   read the book by Neal Gabler, too, if this interests you. This was a good overview of his life and work.
