Frozen Junior Novelization (Disney Frozen)

I bought this for my five year old daughter, who is an advanced reader. Although she can read fluently, she is still five and enjoys looking at pictures, so up until this point, I bought books with lots of words, but still with attracting pictures. I have been seeking an opportunity to introduce chapter books to her. My daughter loves the movie Frozen, and has watched the DVD more than 10 times, so I thought this might be a good first chapter book because she already knows the story and this is written very true to the movie. I am so glad I bought this. She reads this book every night (only pictures in this book are on the cover and like 6 pages in the middle of the book). Words that characters speak are almost exact same as what's in the movie. My daughter loves to read the lines exactly how the characters talk. If I read a line and that's different from how it's said in the movie, she corrects me. Reading 7 pages or so each night, she will finish this book in 2 weeks. I am now searching for more disney junior novelization books because it was such a great success to guide her into chapter books.

My 7yo daughter was delighted to receive this in a box addressed to her from Amazon. A huge fan of the movie and a serious reader, this book comes in at a perfect level as a kid's chapter book, longer than the children's/picture books, but still fairly simple, very entertaining, and shooting right at that 6-9yo age bracket. I liked it because her reading's well beyond picture books; reading level is somewhere just above the whole Junie B Jones / Cam Jansen axis. She blazed through it over the weekend it arrived, and has returned to it a few times since so it seems to have some staying power for this little Elsa fan.

Great for about probably about a 2nd Grade reading level and up. My daughter (in Kindergarten) LOVED the movie, and this was a great way to encourage her excitement about reading. The novelization stayed true to the movie - to the point where my daughter started singing at the appropriate parts. It was intimidating for my daughter to read on their own due to the sheer quantity of words on the page, but it's a great way to turn bedtime stories into a bridge between Goodnight Moon and a "real" book.

My 5-year-old daughter loved the Frozen movie (saw it 4 times, 2x in 3D), and we both like reading this junior novelization. The songs are by far our favorite parts of the film, which is a shame because these Disney junior novelizations, while for the most part being very accurate descriptions of what the film is portraying, fail to seize the novelist's tangible advantages over the filmmaker, while of course being unable to match the filmmaker's power over our emotions via sight, sound, and melody. I take exception to the reviewers who discern additional detail in the book compared to the movie. There are three or four places where the book diverges from the film, but I sense that in these places, the novelist's source material was a non-final version of the script.

My daughter is in 1st grade and loves the "Frozen" movie. I bought this as a stocking stuffer for her for Christmas and she loved it. She was so excited to read parts that happened in the movie. Whenever she came across a funny part that she remembered in the movie, she would sop reading, find me, and tell me all about it again. Her favorite part was the snowman getting "impaled" with the icicle. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that should worry me. Hmmmm.... Definitely a great book to get for your kids.

It is Not good at punctuation. I would rather watch the movie. The books aren't that good .The Narrator doesn't do good! At all!!!

The book was good, it missed a lot but I would recommend it to kids that have seen the movie.

My 7 year old is obsessed with all things "Frozen." This book was a perfect companion for the movie. She is a very good reader for her age, and could read this book by herself (and it took her 3 days). I would say children as young as 4 would like to hear this book being read to them, and it would be appropriate for kids to read independently from about 7-10. It is basically the same story as the movie.

Nothing much but I loved it so much that I watched the movie I hate Hans 😒 But the pictures aren't full I love the story

Wer den Film liebt wird auch dieses Buch lieben. Es ist in Englisch geschrieben und hat in der Mitte ein paar Bilder drin. Die Sprache ist gut verständlich, also für jeden lesbar. Teilweise werden die Dialoge aus dem Film wiedergegeben. Den Stern abzug gibt es für das komische Papier und die Druckertinte. Es passiert ab und zu, dass die Schrift ein bisschen verwischt.

そもそも映画のノベライズですし、物語については映画の方で評価されているでしょうから、 ここでは英語の読み物という観点から書きます。 若干、映画と場面の順番が違うところとか、セリフの違いなどがありますが、 ほぼ忠実に映画の内容をたどった作りで、セリフもそのままのものが少なくありませんので、 基本的に映画そのままの物語を文章に再現したものとして楽しめると思います。 映画とその原作というのよりもよほど近いということです。 強いて難を言えば、映画では映像で処理された背景や動きの説明が、 ときにくどくどしく感じられることでしょうか。 しかしノベライズとしての質は高く、楽しめる「小説」になっていると思います。 英語のレベルについて言うと、 字が大きく読みやすいですし、見た目に難しい単語は多くありませんが、 一般的に見て、必ずしも簡単とは言えないと思います。 英検で言えば準二級相当ぐらいでしょうか。 もともとアメリカで9から12歳向けを想定しているわけですが、 その年齢の日本の子供（小学校4年から6年）が実はどれほど日本語が達者か、 と考えるとわかりやすいでしょうか。 もちろんすんなりわかる表現もたくさんあるはずなので、 それほど英語に慣れていない読者でも、 映画を見たあとで、筋をたどりながら英語に楽しく接することはできると思います。 その点、映画のスチル写真が数ページあるのもいいですね。 映画を見た時にも感じましたが、内容的には古い時代のファンタジーでも、 使われている英語、とくにアナ、クリストフ、オラフらのセリフは、 生きのいい現代の若者の言葉が少なくないと思います。 それが楽しくもありますが、同時にその分難しくなることもあります。 単語は知っていても熟語表現で別の意味だったり、特別な決まり文句だったりするためです。 それでも映画の場面を参考にすると何となくわかる場合も多いので、 あまり勉強と思わずに楽しんで読むのがいいかもしれません。

Fab book with lovely photos of the film in the middle of the book. Great purchase. Would highly recommend. Perfect gift for Frozen fans!

Libro simple, bonito y fácil de leer. La encuadernación está en rústica y la maquetación es perfecta. Tiene fotos de la película en el interior a todo color con una gran calidad. Altamente recomendable para niños y fans.
