This review is from: Miyazaki's Spirited Away Picture Book (Hardcover)

I purchased this book for my 9 year-old who absolutely loves the movie. We bought the DVD years ago and he will still watch it occasionally. When I bought the book, I think he fell in love with the story all over again. The illustrations are incredible and the colors are so vibrant that I had to read it alongside my son. I would love to buy another one to keep as a collector's item.

Our family loves the Miyazaki Studio Ghibli films, and these books increase that enjoyment. The book is a faithful adaption of the movie, with movie stills used for the illustrations. My three year old will sit and simply look through the fascinating pictures all on his own. And he loves reading through it with us, as well.

We have 4 of the Miyazaki books from this series and they are all extremely high quality... I wish that all of his movies had books like these to go with them.
