4.0 out of 5 stars Good early reader, disappoints kids having seen the movie due to its early cut-off, July 10, 2006
By 
deannaotr (Kissimmee, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thunder and Lightning (Pictureback) (Cars movie tie in) (Paperback)
My almost 6yo loves to read this book to his 3yo sister, so its a fairly easy read (his reading level is at 7y0m). He loves to add animated voices to the words (ka-chow!).
This can be a disappointing book at first to the kids, however. It ends at the end of the first race in the movie--about 15 min. in. Its probably a nice taste of the film to a kid who hasn't seen it yet--I'd liken it more to a commercial than the meaty story. Also, parents wanting to get to the moral of the story won't get it here--that's what the rest of the story is about which is not included in this book. It definitely leaves a hanging issue--Lightning McQueen is not yet humbled by his experiences and still hasn't learned that arrogance alone doesn't work. I suppose though, that might lead the reader and family to get to the movie to clear that up--or to buy another book that takes the story to the finish line--and therefore open up a good family discussion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book for the character loving kids., July 25, 2006

This review is from: Thunder and Lightning (Pictureback) (Cars movie tie in) (Paperback)
My son is a huge "character" fan.
We LOVED the movie cars.
We really enjoy reading character books and this was not a disappointment. Well daddy was a bit diappointed it completely follows the movie, guess we wanted something "extra".
It is a good length for bedtime reading, and they packaged it into a decent story in the short book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written tie-in..., December 11, 2007
By 
This review is from: Thunder and Lightning (Pictureback) (Cars movie tie in) (Paperback)
We've really enjoyed this book, and other Disney books by the same author (Emmons). Sometimes tie-in books can be poorly cut-together, but this book pulls in the feeling of the movie characters with active text that is fun to act out (and little kids love that!). Plus the illustrations here are fun without being still shots from the film.
