This short story takes place after the adventures of the movie FINDING NEMO. Basically, it tells what happens to Nemo during a day in school. Other than that, there is no plot. The illustrations are not the quality of stills and shots from the film, but are recognizable. This is a decent book for young children who have seen the movie and also makes a decent gift for any fan of the film.

I disagree with the previous reviewers. This book contains cute parts geared toward kids, less of the adult humor that the movie contains that a child might miss, and small tidbits of tie-ins to the movie. In other words, it's just brought down even more to a kid's level with simple wording. And did you ever notice that animation movies never really cross over well to the world of short story books? People want Nemo manga, I guess, but how much of the original story can you present in a kid's book? Not much, or you lose their attention. I heart the illustrations because they are not your typical Disney- I cannot explain it..they are just different, as you can see on the above cover. It is just a simple story that definitely gets overshadowed by the movie in an adult's eyes, but to a kiddo, it's pure gold.

Plot: Nemo has fun at school in various ways. The end.

My son got this as a gift for his second birthday and he really likes it. The story is unexciting and I don't really enjoy reading it too much, but as I said my son like it. I think that if you have a Nemo fan on your hands, they will like this book. Just don't expect oo much as far as the pictures and the story line go.
