Who Was Walt Disney? is a biographical book about the life of the great Walt Disney. He grew up loving to entertain people and draw pictures. He grew up living on a farm, which caused him to always love the small town feel. This book explains Walt Disney's life before he created his extremely successful theme parks.
Nancy Harrison created the illustrations in this book. The cover illustration is in a different style of cartoon. It looks similar to a caricature with exaggerated features and a large head. The illustrations throughout the book are black and white and simple.
This is a fun read for readers from ages seven to twelve. This story has a great message for students in school because Walt Disney did not come from a whole lot but continued to try and made a whole lot of himself. It also encourages students to be creative and allow their imaginations to roam wherever they want to go.
