Book Description

Age Level: 6 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up | Series: Igor

A fresh take on the classic monster genre, Igor is the story of a mad scientistÕs hunchbacked lab assistant who has big dreams of becoming a scientist in his own right and winning the coveted first-place award at the annual Evil Science Fair in the kingdom of Malaria. Through a twist of fate, Igor gets his chance, but instead of a sinister creation, he ends up producing Eva, a giant, lovable monster who aspires to be an actress. With only one week until the Evil Science Fair, Igor lies and tells Eva the event is actually an audition for a big musical that requires her to ÒactÓ Evil. In the end, IgorÕs friends Brain, a notso-bright brain in a jar, and Scamper, a morose, immortal Òroad killÓ rabbit, help him learn an important lesson about being true to oneself.A handsome illustrated companion to the film, this high-quality picture book will become a family favorite for many years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars The rousing complement to a film all ages can enjoy, December 13, 2008

This review is from: Igor (Hardcover)

Igor: The Movie Storybook is the picturebook adaptation of the family-friendly CGI movie Igor, which dares to play around with the venerable mad scientist/hunchbacked assistant trope! Set in the perpetually overcast kingdom of Malaria, where evil is good and good is bad, evil scientists from all over are gathering for the annual Evil Science Fair. The natural lot of Igors is to serve their malevolent masters, but one Igor as dreams of becoming something more. He successfully brings to life a monster with one flaw - his creation Eva isn't evil at all, but rather an aspiring actress! With help from his friends Scamper the undying rabbit, and Brain, the low-IQ brain-in-a-jar, Igor must teach Eva to be a properly horrific evil monster. Movie-quality computer animation stills illustrate this rousing complement to a film all ages can enjoy. Highly recommended, particularly for young people who enjoyed the Igor movie!
