I love it and my kids love it!
I have bought all of the CD Storybooks and they have all been well worth the money.I will continue to buy them as they become available.However the one thing that I wish they would get back to is having the stories read by the actual characters themselves.The first Winnie the Pook storybook and the storybook with Bugs Life, Monsters Inc and Toys Story 1 & 2 all were read with the voices of the actual characters.It was great! Then when I bought the new ones it's a womans voice for every character and the narrator.Guess we are just spoiled.It's still worth the money and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a little peace and quiet in the car! tee hee

My son LOVES it!
I felt compelled to review this, because unlike two of the other reviewers, I LIKE that there is no indication to "turn the page."The book is good, but the audio CD is even better. My son got one of these (actually slightly different, it has the "Nemo" story on it and one other that is different) for his 3rd birthday, and wants to listen to it EVERY night while he is falling asleep.I was looking on amazon to buy another one (with different stories).The woman's voice who is the narrator is very pleasant.I think it would be very annoying if there was a "beep" or "turn the page" indicator on the CD, especially for those children, like my son, who like to listen to it as a bedtime story.

For Readers Only
Disappointed that my preschooler will not be able to use this for years.Without cues to turn the page she cannot read it independently. ... Read more

Just o.k.
I bought this book with the hope that it could replace the videotape that my four-year old son is wearing out.He likes for me to read this book to him but he always stops me so he can fill in the gaps in this adaptation.He was especially touched by the scene in the movie where Buzz fails to fly and realizes he is a toy, but this scene is omitted from the book, so we always have to recreate it, which can be fun.Still, he was disappointed not to see it in the book and always, I mean always, asks why it was not included.The illustrations are very good; they appear to be straight from the movie but, overall, this book doesn't capture the spirit of the movie. It is a good option for travelling if you don't want to bring the video or dvd and you can act out the omitted scenes with your child.

I Would Say
I would say that it has bright and lovely pictures that you would love!Buy this book for your children!

Lovely pictures from the movie
My four year old son loves this book, mainly because of the large pictures from the movie. These pictures are of an excellent quality. And for the dads (and mums) there's not too much text so you still have an evening leftafter reading this book before your child goes to sleep! ... Read more

FABULOUS!
My son loves this book. The handle makes it super easy for him to carry and he loves to take it with him everywhere.

A beyond treasure
This book is great for the rough and tumble child.My son loves this book and since its super sturdy, I don't worry about him destroying it.The illustrations are incredible and the book is constructed really well.A great find for the buzz lightyear fan.

Great carry along book!
Whoever thought of the idea of putting a handle on a hard cover book is a genius.It's perfect for a 2-3 year old to tote the book everywhere with them.My 3 year old son loves Buzz & Woody and this was a great gift.He carries it to him to bed, and carries it with him when he gets up.Wished they had more Disney books with the handle! ...

Poorly written and incomplete
The story is incomplete and confusing. There are considerable gaps without a parent, adult or smart kid adding additional explanations as the story goes along. If you haven't seen the film you would find yourself scratching your head. Shame on Pixar and Disney for allowing such a poorly written book to be published. If your kid doesn't read, the pictures, frames right out of the cartoon, are great. (The two stars are for the pictures.) But, where were the editors? Is the assumption that kids don't read anyway, so who's going to notice? Well anyway, here's to the illiterates: the one's who call themselves editors and the one's they are cultivating.

Nice product
My daugther is in loe with this booh.Good diagram,picture.This was a beautifull gift to her

Have read better
I am buying all the Disney Read-Aloud Story books for my sons.I have not been disappointed in any except this one.There is not enough story in the writing. Many details from the movie are left out.I think this might be due to the fact that they used a very large and bold typeface.Or is this a "who-came-first-the-chicken-or-the-egg" question.

Confusing
I thought I was getting the book and cassette.As it said, "read along". I only got the book.So make sure you read all the fine print

Toy Story The Offical Novelization
Toy story The Offical Novelization was a great book it had the Spirit of the film captured in it. The Photos were GREAT! They were limited on the Mutant toys photos which i like! It's a great novel Buy if you can I got my copy from Value Village so its pretty rare But overall great book!

Toy Story - Audio Cassette Tape and Book
My three-year old son LOVES this book and tape set.He has always loved the Toy Story movie, so I got the book and tape set to see if it would engage him at bedtime.It did.Disney has released another quality book and tape set, which stays true to the movie, and contains colorful pictureswith a lively narrative provided on the tape.My son loves it so much,this is the second copy I've had to buy, as he wore the first set out. ...

Great book!
Even though this book is meant for kids, I bought it anyway. I'm 16 and I really want to be an animator when I'm older, and surprisingly this book really helped me learn to draw all the Toy Story 1 & 2 characters on my own. The characters are computer-animated in the movie, but this book helps you bring them alive on paper, too. I have all the books in this series and I LOVE them all, they seriously helped my cartooning skills & they're fun to use as well! ... Read more

Could Have Been Better
It may seem odd reviewing a flip book, but I expect a better quality product to come with Pixar. The first side has the record player scene from the cover. The horse is all but jammed inside the binding of the book. Thewhole scene should have been moved over to the right more. Secondly, theyuse the motion blur effect on the characters. While this may work on thelarge screen, it's irritating in a flip book. I would much rather have seenthe characters sharply on every page. Finally they could have chosen abetter scene for the second side then the Rex/Slinky Dog segment. Liketheir previous Bug's Life flip book of Dot running toward the camera, thereare better scenes in Toy Story 2 to draw from that illustrate the magic andappeal of CGI. The Rex scene in the book is stiff. ... Read more

A fun interactive book
"Little Green Army Men" is a short children's book that retells a scene from the popular Disney film "Toy Story." Just in case you aren't familiar with that animated fantasy, "Toy Story" takes place in a suburban neighborhood where children's toys have the ability to come to life.Read more

Rex to the Rescue needs help
My third-grade son read this book and summed it up, "The movie was better."The book followed the story from the movie, but it was dull and unimaginative. I expected that it would be colorfully written, with some humor, but it was just plain boring. Also, it is way too easy for 9-12 year olds. ... Read more

Woody's Wild Ride
The unique design should catch everyone's eye. I read it twice to see what is the best way to approach children. It requires the readers to become familiar with other story, Woody's Roundup first.
