My rating would be 3.5 stars.
It's time for Minnie Mouse's first day of school and if she dreams hard enough, it won't be scary. She needs to focus on the exciting and not the terrifying, like the possibility of monsters. She really hopes there aren't monsters in the school. Along the way, she meets new people and makes new friends, like Daisy.
MINNIE MOUSE: BIG DREAMS is designed for younger children ages six and up who are dealing with first day of school jitters. It's a story full of the benefits of dreaming and the importance of friendship. Children with a vast imagination will relate to Minnie's character. The illustrations are childish with the vibrant colors and cartoon-y style characters. This story is a good introduction into graphic novels. We get to see our favorite classic Disney characters in child form. The only thing I wish is there was more substance. Some of the story fell flat to me, but that may be the childish aspect too.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to younger Disney fans who might be starting a new school or love to dream and let their imagination run wild. It's also perfect for children showing interest in graphic novels.

This was seriously disappointing considering all the great things Scholastic and Disney produce. Two stars only because it may be right for some reluctant reader but mainly it emphasizes to me just how well some writers accomplish real entertaining storytelling with limited vocabulary and supporting art for beginning readers.

Basic Minnie Mouse and gang going school things and making friends. Modern tone.

Super cute but very young, think Kindie level. 7yo was very indifferent to the story but loved that it was an arc, and could colour in Minnie and the gang, any colour they wanted.
