Our family just watched the movie and my niece is into the story. She wanted to red this. It's very abbreviated and doesn't make much of a story and it reminds you of the movie. Preschool.

I remember this was one of the first books I ever had. I loved Mulan as a child. She was the badass warrior, the one who would do anything to save her family and go to war like it was nobody's business.
I can't remember much from it, but I definitely remember an afternoon when I was bored and this book saved me from it. I read it about 7 or 8 times - I'm not even kidding - almost to the point I knew all the dialogues.
This book brings me such warm memories from my chilhood. Some other people may not relate but this is so intimate to me.

3,5? Sentí que el libro fue escrito pensando en gente que ya ha visto la película, porque personalmente no la he visto y hubo partes en las que daban por sentado que conocías a los personajes de antemano, ya que eran mencionados sin presentarlos o indicar quién era quién en primer lugar.
La historia me encantó, Mulán es bacán.

audiolibro per bambini in inglese - ascoltato per prendere confidenza con l'ascolto in un altra lingua mentre faccio cose.

(24 pagine, cavolo, questo mio allenamento butterà giù le mie stats dell'year in books)

Berawal dari kerelaan Mulan menggantikan posisi Ayahnya yang sudah renta untuk pergi perang. Karena wanita dilarang perang, maka Mulan pun memakai pakaian pria, untuk mengelabui para tentara.

Namun ditengah perjalanan, Mulan diketahui identitasnya dan diasingkan. Di tempat pengasingannya, Mulan melihat segerombolan musuh negaranya sedang menuju ke wilayah tempat raja Mulan tinggal.

Mulan menolong sang raja, dan dia diakui sebagai tentara yang hebat...

A young woman with the aspiration to show pride to her family name takes her fathers place in a current war China is fighting. Mulan dresses like a man as woman are not aloud to fight in war. She shows much bravery in her fight to save China. This book has a great storyline and is a classic which many children are familiar with. The author uses Chinese symbolism, a theme which connects young readers and also a plot which is very inspiring to young women. Teachers could use this book when doing a lesson on Chinese history considering the few values which are included in the story such as honor and humility. This book can be used in a history lesson discussing family values because of the way Mulan shows such respect for her family. This book could also be used in a diversity lesson when discussing different gender roles, in the book the men were much more highly looked upon then the women.

My love of reading started when i was young, and it gives me immense pleasure to provide books to Spread the Word Nevada, an organization that passes them on to children in the community. They are a terrific organization supporting an important cause. If your local I encourage you to check them out. For those living further a field, look in your own community, their may already be a similar program in place. And if not, you can always help start one.

Myself, I go out on the weekends and
shop thrift store and bulk book lots to rescue books and donate them. Sometimes I'll find a book I remember reading when I was young and will read it again before passing it on.

I don't rate these books using my normal scale, instead I give most of them three stars. This isn't a Criticism of the book, simply my way of rating them as good for children.

Por siempre uno de mis favoritos, ya sean el pequeño libro tanto como la película. En Mulan por primera vez tenemos un personaje principal femenino que su meta en la vida no es ser princesa y buscar su "felices por siempre". Aquí Mulán es tanto el "gran héroe" como la dulce niña. Trata temas como machismo y le da oportunidad al personaje de triunfar "como hombre". Mulan encuentra su propio camino tomando SUS propias decisiones, ignorando su "deber" y lo que la sociedad piense. Quizás esta critica se enfoque más en la película, ya que se cuenta mejor la historia que en un pequeño libro de 24 hojas, pero siempre será inolvidable para mi.

As a child I always loved Mulan. I thought she was a brave soldier. I never got the concept of the book until i grew older, and now I hate how she was portrayed in the story, once they found out she was a woman. She was a great soldier and just because she wasn't a man they looked down on her and turned their backs on her. I would never want my daughter to think she cant be a soldier or anything else for that matter cause of the older society, and the mentality that specific jobs are only for men.

Parte della collana *Disney Princess*, racconta con semplicità e forza la storia dell’eroina che segue il cuore e il coraggio oltre ogni limite.
Le illustrazioni vivide e il testo accessibile rendono questa edizione perfetta per i giovani lettori che vogliono conoscere (o riscoprire) la leggenda di Mulan.
Un libro che celebra il valore, la famiglia e l’essere se stessi, anche quando significa andare controcorrente.

Opowieść o chińskiej dziewczynie, która bardzo kochała swoją rodzinę i nie chciała jej przynieść wstydu, ale bardziej niż obowiązujące prawo ceniła więzi i życie blislich. Z tego powodu zgłosiła się zamiast ojca do armii, wiedząc że kara dla takiej kobiety to śmierć. Odważna dziewczyna nie podawała się i zarówno na treningach, jak i podczas bitwy z Hunami myślała nieszablonowo, dzięki czemu udało jej się uratować cesarza. Piękna opowieść o disneyowskiej księżniczce wiernej swojemu sercu.

Mulan tells the story of a girl who longs to bring honour to her family. She ceases her opportunity to do so, by replacing her father in the Chinese army and even on discovery, fights for what she believes in. The cinematic version of the story is full of catchy songs that will have children (and adults), singing for hours after the film has finished.
