Iron Man and His Awesome Friends: Not So Fast by Steve Behling ($5.99) - Not only is the Iron Man and His Awesome Friends animated series kicking off this week on Disney Junior and Disney+, but there’s also this cool tie-in kids’ book featuring the characters of Tony Stark / Iron Man, Sam Wilson / Captain America, and Riri Williams / Ironheart.

World of Reading: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - Clubhouse Collection by Disney Books ($8.99) - Who better to help kids learn how to read than Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy? This volume contains five fun stories aimed at early readers.

Disney Magical Map: Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise by Ridley Pearson ($7.99 each): This is the kind of thing I definitely would have been into as a kid– adventure stories inspired by two of the best-known and most beloved Disney Parks attractions. The synopses remind me a bit of Night at the Museum if it was set at Walt Disney World. Sounds like fun!

Like the title says, there are over 100 nifty projects included in these pages.

Disney Descendants: VKs and AKs Through the Ages coloring book by Disney Books ($15.99) - Fans of the Descendants franchise are going to want to get their hands on this 128-page coloring book featuring all of their favorite villainous characters, including Mal, Ben, Red, and Chloe.
