While some elements are problematic in hindsight, I do still love the movie and this Little Golden Book is a great little adaptation of that tale. I've always loved Dumbo.

They do a great job taking the movie Dumbo that Disney did and adapting that to a little book. The artwork is right from the movie. It’s a sweet story about taking your differences and making them work for you, if you can only accept them.

Any Disney fan out there will enjoy these books as it really reminds you of the movie. I love the scene with the crows. They are some of the best. The kids have never been Dumbo fans. We did see the movie remake they did and it was good, maybe even better, but it’s not not a beloved story for them.

I just can't get past the scene where Dumbo's mother gives the bully the spanking he "deserves." No child deserves a spanking.
