Tricks are Treats by Disney Books

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Usually we read books about Disney's protagonists, not necessarily about they antagonists, but this book features a different Disney villain on each page. Without actually introducing who they are, the text has fun rhyme schemes that gives hints as to why each character is a villain, and what they do that is so villainous. The rhyming words are written in a different font and color so that they stand out. Written in first person, this is a fun book for Disney fans.

Disney characters are always fun. I liked the rhyme scheme and how the rhyming words stood for readers. It had good word choice, and gave the reader a little more background about these Disney villains. This was a little text heavy for my 3 year old, but she still enjoyed it. She hasn't seen all of the Disney movies yet, so some of the villains were unfamiliar to her.
