Meus queridos leitores, voltar a ler estes clássicos que li durante a minha infância, tem sido deveras divertido.

Por isso, desafio-vos para que voltem a ler estes contos infantis.
Garanto-vos que vão passar bons momentos a recordar outros tantos da vossa infância :)

Particularmente fico fascinada com estas histórias; com a forma que o escritor cria o enredo, e constrói um desfecho sempre provido de uma moral/ensinamento.

The first chapter book I read, and the book that really started my love of reading. I loved this movie so much, I couldn't get enough of it, so I turned to the book to re-live the movie. It included color inserts with stills from the movie, which was golden for me.

Just like the movie but the picture scenes in the book are out of order. Still beautiful. Makes me feel like reading a fairy tale.

Prefect length for my 7 year old. Good summary of the classic movie.

True to the original movie, almost word-for-word. A classic.

A young adult... very young adult, chapter book movie adaptation(meaning yes it has chapters, but it still has pictures and is about 80 pages long.) The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney cartoon growing up. I even used my own money to buy a subscription to the Little Mermaid magazine and to buy a set of Little Mermaid sheets. So once again when I saw this book at a garage sale I knew it had to come home with me. And coming home it had to go into the to-read-pile before it could find a permanent home. Hopefully someday I'll have a little girl to share it with.

This was more what I expected of a junior novelization (as compared to the one we read of the Princess and the Frog). Text is kind of bland. Just a retelling of the action with no depth. And, The Little Mermaid isn't the best Disney princess film to begin with.
