ISBN 1885222394 - Disney's retelling of the old genie-in-a-bottle tale is beautifully illustrated and simple for young readers to follow. The pages at the end of the book are a nice educational bonus.
Goofy and Donald visit Mickey, who is house-sitting for his grandfather. Mickey shows them a bottle he found in the attic. When he rubbed it, a genie appeared and offered him three wishes. He needs to think about what those wishes will be, but he has to run to the store and asks his friends to watch the bottle. Temptation proves to be too great for Donald, who convinces Goofy that they should get some wishes, too. Things don't go exactly as they hope and by the time Mickey returns, they're more than happy to part with the bottle.
The lesson of "think before you speak" is one we could all probably stand to learn, so the chance to teach it to young kids shouldn't be passed up. And, of course, characters they recognize is an added bonus!
