I saw the movie, Howl's Moving Castle, and then saw the picture book advertised. As I am a teacher-librarian in a high school, I decided to buy the book to put in the school library. I found the pictures bright and eye-catching, and I knew that our students do a study of picture books in English in their senior years. The castle also links very strongly to the story of Baba Yaga, whose house was on chicken feet, although it was a much darker abode. One of the seniors has reserved the book already, so I think my decision has been vindicated. Also, the book is much more appealing than the text version, although the text version does explain some of what happens to Sophie. I highly recommend this book.

My 5 year old loved the movie so I bought this book and it is/was a big hit. Even though it is rather long for a childrens book each page isn't too wordy as some can be and the illustrations are a beautiful as the movie's animation.

This is an incredible book. Howl's Moving Castle is my favorite movie of all time!!!! This book follows every scene and detail of the movie, it's like watching it through the book! Excellent price for an excellent product.

I really love this book. It's a pretty big book, hardcove,r and it's full of great illustrations(which is why I bought it). It was purchased for my son(an animation major) and he really likes it for the artwork.

This is one of the best animated features I have ever seen. It's magical and awe inspiring. Little kids to older people will enjoy thoroughly.

A great picture book that goes well with the film - I would have liked to see more about the process of how they created the animation, but overall I found it enjoyable as a great resource and frame by frame account of one of my favorite anime films.

My daughter (and I) love this movie and the book is a great way for her to spend time with the characters through beautifully reproduced scenes from the movie and well-chosen excerpts from the script. I wish that all of the Miyazaki movies had companion books from this series to go with them!
