Disney Digital Books Expands Its Vast Library with Enchanting New Books from the Upcoming "The Princess and the Frog" Feature Film

Disney`s Virtual Library Now Offers Kids a Selection of over 500 Books, Making
It an Ideal Gift for Children This Holiday Season

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
Tiana and Naveen, the royal duo from the upcoming "Princess and the Frog"
feature film, will make their debut today in a series of delightful story and
picture books on the newly-launched Disney Digital Books.com
(www.disneydigitalbooks.com). The Princess and Frog titles that will be released
today include:

Princess Tiana and the Royal Ball
For as long as she can remember, Tiana has dreamed about just one thing: having
her own restaurant. But after she fell in love with Prince Naveen, she not only
got her restaurant, she became a princess, too. Now it's time for her first
royal ball-and her first appearance as a princess. Featuring lilting text and
gorgeous illustrations by one of the film's animators, this picture book picks
up where the movie leaves off with an enchanting new princess story that little
girls will love.

The Princess and the Frog Storybook
Based on the latest Disney animated feature film. Tiana is a beautiful,
hardworking young woman with a dream. Naveen is a spoiled, jazz-loving prince
who doesn't understand the meaning of hard work. This unlikely pair has nothing
in common--until they are magically transformed into frogs.
