Magic of Disney & Pixar Books

Disney is one of the most well-loved iconic brands in the world. For some, it’s Disneyland with its rides, slides, and parades. For others, it’s the enchanting and endearing characters Disney has created over the years. Our families have become deeply fond of these captivating characters and we invest in every new movie release. And our collection of these mesmerizing movies grows each year. We buy Disney trinkets, clothing and other paraphernalia and we may even decorate our kid’s rooms with their favorite characters. We essence, we love and adore Disney!

We also stock our family library with ‘once upon a time‘ Disney storybooks that spark our imagination, stir our hearts and bring magic to the moment. DK Books has several Disney books that are packed with fun facts about our favorite heroes, monsters and beloved characters. Here are two Disney books that would make a great addition to any family library.

Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia New Edition

The Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia features more than 290 best-loved characters from 21 different movies. This version has been updated and expanded to include more movies with their captivating characters. From Buzz Lightyear to Dim the rhinoceros beetle to Jaques the lobster from Nemo to Luigi from Cars to Bo Peep from Toy Story, kids will enjoy this fact-filled guide to all their favorite characters.

Each character is highlighted with colorful images, interesting facts and notable attributes. One feature called ‘Did You Know‘ shares true facts that kids might not be aware of. For instance, in the movie Finding Nemo, a beluga whale named Bailey is one of the charming characters. But, did you know that beluga send out a fast-clicking sound through their bulbous heads? The echoes that bounce back give the whales a picture of everything around them.

Ever wonder what type of car Mama Topolino is? Or were you aware that the colorful bird in UP named Kevin is actually a female? Or how about those villains? Want to know more about Syndrome from The Incredibles or Bruce the shark from Finding Nemo or Chef Skinner from Ratatouille? Or maybe you have a favorite Disney movie and just absorb yourself in its content. It’s all here in the Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia.
