Disney's Haunted Mansion: Pop-Up Book

Takes the reader on an interactive visit through an old house and graveyard where ghosts and ghouls lurk inside coffins and behind walls and tombstonesFrom Publishers WeeklyThough kids are always ready for a good scare, it seems doubtful that young phantasm fans will be either frightened or amused by this bland outing. The illustrations are merely serviceable, the rudimentary paper engineering offers no surprises and the hologram touted on the back cover has no particular impact. Ecological awareness suffuses the gag lines--they have been recycled many times over ("Bring your friends. We're dying to meet them"). Though the Haunted Mansions at the Disney theme parks offer wit, ingenuity and old-fashioned chills, those qualities are sadly lacking here. Ages 3-8.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
