Quite a treat
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The "Step into Reading" books have been a staple in our house, especially any that involve Disney characters. "The Big Cheese" has proved time and again to be a hit with both of my sons, who at ages 2 and 4 have an easy time sitting through this fun adaption of "Ratatouille." The story, of course, focuses on Remy's rise from grub-sniffing rat to acclaimed Parisian chef, but takes time along the way to explain how Remy feels about his family, his friends and his love of cooking. Good times for all.
How Remy the Rat Became a Chef
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
"Remy was a rat. His job was to smell the garbage. He made sure it was safe to eat. But Remy did not like his job." -- From the book In June 2007, Disney/Pixar will be releasing the animated movie Ratatouille (pronounced rat-a-too-ee) which pairs a chef named Linguini who can't cook--with a Rat named Remy who CAN...and quite brilliantly, it turns out. The Big Cheese chronicles Remy's rise from the garbage dumps to the kitchen of the fine restaurant Gusteau's in Paris--all the while avoiding the head chef who obviously DOESN'T want a rat in his fine restaurant! In the meantime, Remy tries to teach Linguini how to cook while avoiding detection. (The food critic, Ego, loves the food--but who REALLY makes the dish?! Too funny--a food critic named Ego!) This is a Step 2 "Step Into Reading" book by Random House and is geared towards ages 5-6 and up. Step 2 books have basic vocabulary, short sentences and simple stories so they're great for beginner readers--and for bedtime stories! My son loves this colorful book (he read it to ME before bedtime!), but if you (or your child) don't want to know some of the events in Ratatouille, you may want to wait until AFTER you see the movie to get it.
