ls-than the Disney Golden Books.The history of these books began in 1933, when the president of Whitman Publishing wrote a letter to Walt Disney. Whitman had already published compilations of the "Dick Tracy" and "Little Orphan Annie" comic strips, and these Big Little Books had met with great success. The publisher proposed a similar collection of the "Mickey Mouse" comic strips, and offered a royalty of one-half percent per book. Walt agreed, and a new era in Disney publishing commenced.A remarkable lineup of talent, many of whom were Disney Studio artists - including Mary Blair, Alice and Martin Provensen, Gustaf Tenggren, Al Dempster, Retta Scott Worcester, and Bill Peet -created the illustrations for the early Disney Golden Books. The bold and incredibly detailed artwork was painstakingly executed in gouache and watercolour - media that required a steady hand and immense patience and precision. The resulting publications became favourite selections in the libraries of many children, among them, future generations of Disney and Pixar artists who were inspired to draw, dream, and later, create their own films and Golden Books.The Art of the Disney Golden Books celebrates a legacy that has now thrived for more than eighty years and continues to influence new generations of artists and filmmakers. Through interviews with contemporary animators who recall tracing the characters in their childhood Disney Golden Books, paintings by artists who influenced and inspired the Disney Golden Book illustrations, and a generous complement of Golden Book artwork - much of which was thought to have been lost until very recently - the rich tradition of the series is explored in this vibrant volume.From Peter Pan and Cinderella to Toy Story and Tangled, the Disney Golden Books are displayed in all their glory, evoking a poignant sense of wonder and nostalgia. For as long as parents and children partake in the ritual of reading together at bedtime, the Disney Golden Books will continue to be published, enjoyed, and treasured.
“小鱼儿”拥有一个魔力故事。书中分节押韵的文字是培养孩子语感的绝佳材料。我五岁的女儿非常喜欢书中重复的韵文，读两遍后，她就可以扮演书中不同的动物角色，有声有色地模仿起“小鱼儿”和老师鳐鱼小姐的精彩对话。
《爱讲故事的小鱼儿》是“咕噜牛”的作者唐纳森为大家创作的另一本经典图画书，它也是我家五岁的“小鱼儿”最爱的晚安故事。
