A parent would reach for this book when their child asks 'Where do stories come from?' or shows a budding interest in how their favorite characters were created. It is an ideal choice for fostering a sense of historical wonder and connecting a child's modern interests to the past. The book chronicles the 1930 origin of the Mickey Mouse Book, detailng the very first licensed Disney publication and the charming (though fictionalized) account of how Mickey met Walt Disney. While the primary draw is the nostalgia of a global icon, the book serves as a gentle introduction to the concepts of legacy and storytelling. It is perfectly suited for children ages 5 to 10, offering a bridge between simple character appreciation and a more mature interest in media history. Parents will appreciate how it encourages curiosity about the origins of the things they love today, framed through a lens of friendship and creative beginnings.
