as advertised
My daughter loves this book. It goes through the entire story from the movie in a quick 5 minute read. We love to add voices and sing songs from the movie while reading

4 year old loves it
My four year old loves the movie and enjoys this book. The binding is flimsy but that’s to be expected at this price.

Awoken by a "light bulb."
I really didn't want to see this movie. It appeared to be a child's movie with a snitch of child abuse. I have now watched it about 12 times since we bought it immediately after seeing it. I use some of the phrases occasionally such as: light bulb, it's so ____________ I'm going to die, the unicorn song and knocked over. I want a minion but am not about to pay $40.00 for one. I have asked so many people if they have seen it and am told no. Maybe teaching the girls to be criminals or bad taste in entertainment. Who knows.

Loved the film? Love the book...
My 5 year old daughter loved the film, & loves this book just as much. It is a very simplified version of the film, & it ends differently, but it captures the movie fantastically. The focus is more on the family storyline, rather than the villany. It's a good book for children beginning to read on their own, but works equally as well a read-together story. Well worth the money if you liked the film.
