Authors #100 and 101 Disney JP

 Picture books are a Disney staple.  Clockwise from top left: Oz The Great and Powerful: The Witches of Oz by Scott Peterson, Oz The Great and Powerful: Movie Storybook by Scott Peterson, Phineas and Ferb Destination: Amazon! by (can you guess who?) (yep!) Scott Peterson, The Beauty of Nature by Andrea Posner-Sanchez
If Disney picture books are a staple then Disney princess picture books are practically a food group! 

All That Glitters is by Lara Bergen (who also writes about Disney fairies see authors-96-97-98-and-99-disney-jv-je-jf ) and Forever After has multiple authors.  (You can decide whether to consume in abundance or moderation; this consumption rate may depend upon the number of young girls or young-at-heart girls in the household.)

Another interesting tidbit: Disney has started printing books on recycled paper such as The Beauty of Nature and using certified sourcing for the text paper under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative for Forever After.     

Can you name all the princesses pictured?  If you can, you've experienced the influence of Disney.  Which can be a good and a bad thing depending on what such influence inspires or discourages you to do.  Remember that much of the conversation (casual and usually one-time occurrence)/dialogue (formal and on-going) and debate/agreement can be considered moot if you're going just for popcorn entertainment.
