Editorial Reviews

"Magical Mouse Schoolhouse" provides plenty of fun activities for your kids to do (and gets them away from the TV!) What a godsend!

Each chapter is written about a specific Walt Disney World attraction. A brief history of the attraction is given within the first half of every chapter, including some fun facts - my favorite part of the book! The second half of each chapter is called "Today's Takeaway" which suggests an assignment to complete, a family activity to do, or a recipe to make!
