Disney books? No thanks.

Disney books are junk. Any excuse for not reading them is a good one.

As to your daughter's friend, it's no accident that Mickey Mouse came out shortly after "Mein Kampf," and that the character was originally a vicious rat known as Shmuel the Bolshevik. Politics aside, Disney realized that America did not have the same rich tradition of antisemitic caricature that Europe had. So Shmuel became a Negro parody, and Mickey Mouse was born.
