Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids! describes Walt Disney World through the eyes of children

The 2006 edition of Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids! is from the same stable as the other official Walt Disney World books by Birnbaum and has all the details on the latest developments at Walt Disney World.

It is part written by children with children in mind and the language used will typically appeal to kids in the 8-12 age bracket. Younger children may enjoy reading it with their parents.

It has around 160 pages and is split into a number of sections with a separate chapter dedicated to each of the four main theme parks and a further chapter for the rest of the World, including Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Downtown Disney and Fort Wilderness.

It gives honest views on the attractions and rides and through the use of "attraction reactions" it tells you whether you might find a ride too dark, too scary, too fast or too wild. Kids are then better prepared on what rides will suit them best.

New edition

Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids! 2007 was published on October 1, 2006

As well as all the attractions and shows, the book also gives kids views on shopping, best places to eat (from a kids perspective) and where to stay.

There are even a few blank pages for Disney character autographs (to save buying a separate autograph book), some fill-in-the-blanks puzzles to keep them amused when waiting in lines, crossword puzzle games and cartoons. If there is a complaint then it probably could do with more actual photographs and less cartoons.

Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids! is cheap and make an ideal book for a child to read before visiting Walt Disney World as it gives them great fun planning their trip and marking off all the things they want to see and do. It also means they don't have to keep borrowing your guide book (or drawing all over it!).

Birnbaum publish a series of books about Walt Disney World, namely Birnbaum's Walt Disney World, Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids by Kids!, Birnbaum's Walt Disney World Without Kids, Birnbaum's Walt Disney World Dining Guide and Birnbaum's Disney Cruise Line.
