The Mouse that Roared: Disney and the End of Innocence.

Hello everyone,
We've been thinking about how the television and particularly the big company Disney, affects children. Then we found a really amazing book that make us reflect and investigate this topic. Is written by Henry Giroux a succesful pedagogue that have published tens of books all over the world.
 In this case, as we have mention, the focus is Disney and childhood. This company offers and image of innocence, and image that could be fake. That's what Henry explores in this essay, making a deep investigation, quoting people that have worked for this company and even quoting Walt Disney and his contradictions. 
We recommend this book for everyone, but specially our own classmates, because as a teacher we have a powerful tool in our hands; the future society. So we have to be prepared about what is good and what is not good for our pupils. We're sure if you read it a lot of ideas will come to your head. See you on the next publication.
