The Magic Grinder

My sister's update feed had shown that she had read a bunch of Disney books and even though we were raised Disney it is quite unusual for her to actually truly read children books that she records as being read since she keeps her own reading separate from reading to her daughter. As a result I was eyeballing her reading record and due to one particular entry started remembering about some of the Disney books that I had read as a younger reader. Although this isn't a direct take from her reading feed this is one that popped into my minds while it was so memorable to me due to the illustrations, especially when it came to the dragon who seems to reach pages on end. As a result I was happy to find a digital copy of this old book and to once more be able to study the illustrations. Lord Gurr reminds me in both personality and looks like some of those people that I have struggled with in life that is isn't hard to see him as a villain although with some of the facial features it makes me wonder if there was a bit of stereotyping while his poor bulldog has the most sad expression on all the pages that he is shown in that it makes you feel pity for him since he just seems an add-on for decoration purposes. The dragon who is shown on the cover is such a minor character, which is a shame but his face normally has a weird gaze on it while Minnie herself hasn't been drawn in her best. Otherwise even for its age the drawings are brightly colored while offering the reader with some fun appearances that add to the timeframe for the story. The writing is simple and easy but at the same time a bit long for beginning readers so this would be more or less a recommend to elementary children who may enjoy a bit of an older fairytale version provided by the world of Disney.
