Authors: Julie Taymoor, Alexis Greene and Tim Rice Subject: Here is a wonderful book that tells how they transformed Disney most popular animated feature to the Broadway stage. You saw the animated film, you bought the video, you couldn't get tickets to the stage show--here's the coffee-table book. But wait: what keeps The Lion King: Pride Rock on Broadway from being just another commercial Disney tie-in is the iconoclastic voice of director/designer Julie Taymor. She uses the text of this book as a diary for her personal struggle to merge her off-off-Broadway avant-garde sensibility with Disney's unabashedly bigtime commercial one. Her chronicle lends context to the already lush and abundant illustrations, photographs, and sketches of Taymor and her collaborators at work.

Author: Charles Santore (Illustrator), Hans Christian Andersen Subject: Here is the classic fairy tale that comes to life with the wonderful illustrations of Charles Santore. Written with some modern language that is slightly jarring (when the little mermaid saves the prince from drowning, she dodges falling planks and beams from the sinking ship, "forgetting that they might crush her to atoms"), this version will not deter readers attracted by the lush, sentimental visuals in a tale of mermaids, shipwrecks, and unrequited love. The stylish and appealing format will appeal older children and adults alike.
