The literary classic about a mouse in love with adventure is coming to the big screen on December 19th, in a new animated film from Universal Pictures and Larger Than Life Productions. This reader retells the story from the film. Full color.
The flow of the story is nice in this book. It doesn't flow exactly like the movie but that is unimportant as the story is still communicated easily and nicely here. If you like Despereaux, this would be a good short book to have that covers that main story. I wish there were more pictures because they did a good job selecting the pictures.
Nice tie in: Comic Book version
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This was my grandson's first exposure to comic books as it took the movie he'd seen, and the story he'd had as a read aloud and put it in another form. He curled up on the couch and read it cover to cover in an evening. The author did a nice job catching the action of the story and the illustrations are enchanting. Bravo.
Cute Movie Tie In for Beginning Readers

This is a cute movie tie in book for beginning readers. I teach ESOL students and believe that this book will intrigue some of my beginning readers. It has nice pictures and I bet the movie is good.
