As the My Itty-Bitty-Bio series title implies, these books are concise introductions, rather than true biographies. But they do give young children a glimpse into the lives of some well-known names. The two or three sentences of text on each page are in first person, adding a sense of familiarity. Walt Disney offers a cursory look at the animator's career and touches on his movies, Disneyland, and, of course, Mickey Mouse. It's a bit odd at the end of each book to hear the subjects report their own deaths. The books have incredibly appealing covers that will draw children in, though sometimes the narratives sacrifice factual precision and clarity for simplicity. Still, the volumes' black-and-white art is brightly framed, and time lines will help younger readers understand when the subjects lived.
