This colorful illustrated children's biography of Walt Disney is the perfect introduction to the creative force behind Mickey Mouse and such animated classics as Snow White, Pinnochio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and many others. Hundreds of historic photographs and images from Walt's early Mickey Mouse shorts accompany a lively retelling of his journey from a small town in Missouri to the movie studios of Hollywood. Like its adult trade counterpart INSIDE THE DREAM, DISCOVERING WALT was published in 2001 to coincide with the original air date of the ABC-television documentary "Walt: The Man Behind the Myth" and as part of the Walt Disney Company's celebration of the 100th anniversary of Walt's birth.

Created by Roundtable for children 8 years and up, this original mystery series captures the young reader's imagination in an innovative way. In each book, Jen and Zeke, the eleven-year-old twins at the heart of the series who live with their Aunt Bee in the Mystic Lighthouse Bed and Breakfast, race to solve a new mystery. As the tale unfolds, the reader keeps track of clues on a blank suspect sheet in the back of the book. This sheet is identical to the ones used by the two young detectives to figure out the possible motives and suspicious behaviors of the suspects. Thus, an exciting challenge awaits in every book: can you solve the mystery before Jen and Zeke?
