| This is an adorable book. In general, I am a fan of the 5-Minute Snuggle Stories series. They are fun collections of stories that fit a certain theme and I have yet to read one that I didn’t like. This one is no exception. Plus, it gets extra points for being so cute and snuggly. This collection has a wonderful variety of classic characters (Donald Duck, Dumbo, Lady and the Tramp), Pixar characters (Toy Story, Monsters, Inc.), and new characters (Tangled, Disney Bunnies). I really enjoyed all of them. The only downside is that there are a few repeats between other collections and books. I haven’t read 5-Minute Minnie Tales in its entirety, but I am fairly certain that “Scaredy-cat Sleepover” makes an appearance. While reading, I also found Toy Story’s “Showtime” very familiar. It took a little detective work, but I soon figured out it was half of Buzz Off! & Showtime!: 2 Books in 1, which I read a few years ago. Searching a few of the stories, it’s easy to see that some of them are pulled from other books. It’s nice to have them in one collection, but will get repetitive if you read a lot of a certain character or have multiple 5 Minute Stories collections. Overall though, a great collection. I loved the illustrations. They are simply adorable. I also liked the “snuggle” theme. Any of these would make a great feel-good bedtime story. Goodreads |
