ReadItDaddy's Second Book(s) of the Week - Week Ending 1st February 2019: "Disney Animated Classics" by Lily Murray (Studio Press)

Love 'em or hate 'em. Disney's versions of classic fairy tales have worked their way into our collective consciousness with so many brilliant animated versions over the years...
Our Book of the Week choices for this week are three absolutely brilliant new versions of the tales from the new "Animated Classics" range from Studio Press and Lily Murray.

More than just a retelling of the stories, the books are highly illustrated, featuring a mix of shots taken from the movies, as well as a ton of process and concept art as well.

So yep, that was us sold straight away as we're absolutely nutso about process and production art.

"Sleeping Beauty", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "The Little Mermaid" (which was released in January this year) are the first three titles with "Dumbo" following on in March to coincide with the new Live Action version of that well-loved tale.

So let's take a look inside at this gorgeous set of titles...

The stories are highly illustrated with a mix of animation cels and production art. GORGEOUS!
It's a genius idea, particularly for animation-obsessed kids who love seeing how simple sketches become some of the best loved movies on the planet.

A complete wow, collectible and desirable!
Clad in classy cloth-bound covers with brilliant end-papers and gold edged pages, these beautiful editions are destined to become highly desirable and collectible, so start your collection today!

Sum these books up in a sentence: Absolutely essential for Disney fans, gloriously presented and illustrated!
