This is the first book to come from the collaboration, and hopefully not the last. It is already available for pre-order on several online retailers, including Amazon. The book is hardcover and is 40 pages long. Here is a look at the cover:
Camp Mickey and Minnie: One Wild Summer Official Description
Mickey & Minnie open a new Summer camp prepared to teach campers and readers alike to unplug and reconnect with the magic of the outdoors.
In this new fully illustrated hardcover picture book, Mickey & Minnie will be opening a new Summer camp! While preparing for the campers Goofy worries that the abundance of frogs on the lake will get in the way of his Art of Water Sports club. The solution is obvious: plastic flamingos! But Goofy’s flamingos are just the start of his humorous (and ultimately harmless) attempts to control the natural world. Every time Goofy solves his problem with one animal, another shows up in its absence. Mickey & Minnie help Goofy see that his actions caused a big stink and that it is best to live in harmony with nature. The story showcases how every animal has a role to play in their environment, even if that role isn’t always clear to people. In the end, natural balance is restored to the camp and Mickey & Friends prepare for the rest of an amazing summer.
This book was illustrated by the official voice of Mickey himself, Bret Iwan. The story will interweave an inspiring tale with playful vintage visuals, that take inspiration from Iwan’s previously released National Parks-inspired Mickey Mouse screen prints.
At the end of the story, there will be a spread of fun facts about the animals featured in the story, created in collaboration with Disney’s Animal, Science, and Environment Team.
