Note: The decision was made to consolidate all Disney publications under the name Walt Disney Company. This profile is for Walt Disney, the characters he created, and the company he founded. Any questions, please ask in the Librarian's Group.

Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.

Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.

Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.

The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

A short chapter book with a few pictures, mostly short sentences lacking diversity in sentence structure. My daughter just ha Sri have this one when she saw it on the library book cart. She’s 4 and the pink, glitter, and cat on the cover definitely appeal to her. She carried it around for a few days before we read it and said it was her new favorite book.
The story is just ok, which is pretty much what I expect from any kids books based on movies/tV shows. It’s more about selling the product than a real quality story.
The story features a cat named Beauty owned by Princess Aurora. Aurora asks the cat to stay up for her star shower party, but the cat struggles because it is so sleepy all the time. Other animal friends try to help the cat, who eventually realizes she’s always sleepy because she has never thought about anything more interesting than bows and caviar. The story quickly concludes from there with the cat and other animals attending and enjoying the star shower party.

My 7 Year Old Liked It

She really enjoyed all of Aurora's pets and especially the sleepy kitty Beauty. My daughter is cat obsessed so it was an easy sell. She also liked that the kitten went to Aurora's old home and met all the woodland creatures.
We read this at bedtime and had to span it across two days. The second night she asked for something different so we came back to finish the story a few nights later. So I gave it 4 stars because she wasn't super intent on finishing it right away.

Cute kitty adventure!

Beauty, Princess Aurora's pet kitten, wants to attend the Star Shower with her best princess friend. Unfortunately, the Star Shower happens at midnight - when Beauty is usually fast asleep! Searching for the perfect spot to nap so she is rested for the big event, Beauty finds nothing but problems...until her friends help her find just the right solution. Anyone looking for a gentle story about cats, princesses, and friendship will love this adorable adventure!

Beauty, Aurora's pet cat, wants so badly to watch the falling stars but has trouble staying awake.

That is until she finds that although sleep is nice spending times with the ones we love and doing fun things is even better!

This is a good book for children who love Disney Princesses. Personally I didn’t like it, but I am 14 years old and don’t really enjoy princesses as much as I used to.

Absolutely adorable. Beauty is a cute cat that I want to have.
This kind of book is so perfect for practice the english, and this year I want to read more books in english for the same reason.
Maybe I must try with children's books.

In this book, we've an adventure with Beauty who wants to go at the star shower but then she realize that the show will be at the midnight, and Beauty can't stay awake at the midnight. She has to make anything for stay awake at the hour of the show, with the help of her best friend, Bloom.

So quickly of read, simple, fun, and pretty.

When Aurora asks Beauty if she will stay up till midnight to watch the stars with her, Beauty agrees immediately. But how will such a sleepy cat be able to stay awake?

This is a cute book for an early reader who is eager for more Disney. The illustrations are a little much, but I understand how they would appeal to a younger child. This book also has some back story from the original tale and works as a small refresher for children who are unfamiliar with it.

Mostly what I expected from a book like this. My 6 year old girl really liked it as she loves anything princess. It was a very quick read, we could have gotten through in one sitting.

Very cute. Lots of bright and fun pictures.
Zoey thought this book was great. The mix of a Disney Princess she already knew and a kitty - what's not to love? Even though she was very insistent when we talked to the librarian for book suggestions that she did not want pictures in the books we read together, she sure seemed to love this book with pictures. Guess she's still just 2.
