4.0 out of 5 stars Not JUST like the movie version July 14, 2010
Format:Board book
Just the fact that this book exists makes me happy. The bedtime story theme is so sweet in the movie, and having this as a tie-in is a lot of fun.

There is NOT a little brush that comes out of the book, like in the movie, but it's still a lot of fun. The little kitties are finger puppets like in the movie.

And even though it's supposed to be the epitome of an awful bedtime story, in truth, kids often like the simple stories that we adults find to be drivel, and I was surprised to agree that it makes a fairly good bedtime story that my son enjoyed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very cute, but buy a brush seperately. August 26, 2010
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
Love this book. It's extremely cute, and kids who have seen the movie get very excited to see this book exists. Just buy a little Barbie brush separately as well, since one doesn't come included even though one is shown in Despicable Me. One star lost because the makers thought that children wouldn't care about the missing brush, but still a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars My daughter LOVES it - but... July 15, 2010
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
My daughter is thrilled that this is like the book in the movie. She never gets tired of listening to the story - and then "reading" it to me too!

I like the book too, but I wish it was as nice as the one in the movie. This one doesn't have the three large holes and nice sock kittens for your fingers. The kittens on this book are made from some sort of cheap felt-like material that I don't believe will hold up if this becomes a favorite of your child's - and I believe it will - it's already a favorite of my daughter, Serenity. It was a little difficult to maneuver the puppets too and Serenity had a little bit of a hard time getting her fingers in the puppets.

It also doesn't have the little brush like the book in the movie. Not a really big deal, but Serenity did ask about it and told me she wishes her book had a brush too. She just ended up using her finger to brush the kitten's fur.

In all it's a sweet little bedtime story, but I wish the book was the nicer spiral-bound board book that was in the movie. I'm giving it only 4-stars because it's so cheaply made.

Maybe a nicer book will be released later on?
