Daniel Kelly – Picture Book: Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Goofy The Big Bear Scare


Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse and Goofy The Big Bear Scare is a Little Golden Book. The book is only small, with a full page spread only equivalent to an A4 page. The story is immediately lovable due to the common Disney characters. There is a sound amount of written text of medium difficulty. The difficulty of the language and the formatting and layout of the written text would make me feel the book would be appropriate for shared reading or reading by a student roughly 8 to 10 years old. However, in saying this as the book is wonderfully illustrated it could easily be read by a younger person and much of the meaning could easily be gained even if the written language is too difficult.

The story is about 15 pages long but would take a young reader more than one sitting to read. This is another reason why the book would be great as a shared reader.  The dialogue in the book would also be fitting for the use of an adult reader who can interpret the language and narrate the story with strong meaning the students or children.
