Who Was Walt Disney? by Whitney Stewart

Who Was Walt Disney? by Whitney Stewart - 106 pages

This is part of the very popular children's biography series "Who Was?".  I've been wondering what the books were like and since it is audio challenge month I picked this one up to listen to in the car.  It was okay as a children's biography.  It was a little preachy and definitely whitewashed Disney and his reputation, however, I didn't really expect them to bring up the negative points of his life in a children's book.  It was a little distracting in the audio version that it would suddenly cut from the biography to a small informational section on a different topic that was brought up in the biography.  It would probably work better in the print format.
