Papa: You just read this to Scoutie for the first time. It's been a long time since you read it, though, so what did you think?
Brontë: I thought it was cheesy, but I liked it. I think Scout liked it too.
Papa: How could you tell?
Brontë: Because she stayed there the whole time. She usually doesn't when I read to her. It's really weird when they say "Run, Remy! Run" or something like that. I guess it's because I am older.
Papa: You think?
Brontë: Yeah.
Papa: Why?
Brontë: When I was little I liked, and now to me it is just kind of cheesy, and it's because it is supposed to be a little kid book.
Papa: So Scout likes it because she's a little kid? Or she likes it because she loves you and you read it to her?
Brontë: Yeah, I think that's why, because she loves me.
Papa: She does love you. No doubt about that. What are you going to read her next?
Brontë: Hmmm ... See Pip Point, if I can find it.
Papa: That's a cool one.
Brontë: I like it too.

Simplified version of the movie.

A cute and self-standing short take on Act 1 of the movie. This one actually makes sense as a story - some of these movie spinoff books don't actually have beginnings, conflict, and resolution.

Title: Run, Remy, Run! (Ratatouille Series : A Step into Reading Book: Step 1)
Author: Kitty Richards, Disney Storybook Artists (Illustrator)
Publisher: Random House Childrens Books, 32 pp, 2007
Format: Early Reader (Beginning reader, *2007)
Audience: Children, ages 4 to 6
Description: Remy is a rat that has dreams of becoming a chef. He’s not like the other rats because he watches TV and walks on two feet. He gets lost in the city of Paris and comes across a kitchen. He sees a boy who tries to make seem but it is quite awful. Can Remy save the day?
Personal Review: This early reader book does a good job of recreating a small part of story of the movie Ratatouille. Run, Remy, Run reminds me of the movie Forest Gump with Tom Hanks. Remy is either running, climbing or cooking and trying to stay out of trouble. He finds his chance to make his dreams come true when he comes across a kitchen and a big pot of soup. Even though I had watched the movie, this book in the series finds a way to make the story relatively new and exciting for the beginning readers. This book is designed for Step 1 Ready to Read Preschool to Kindergarten children. It does a good job of allowing the eager reader to get excited about beginning to read. The story is simple but endearing and children will be drawn to reading and looking at the colorful illustrations.
Citation of two critical sources:
Marilyn Courtot’s Children’s Literature review mentions how this early reader book reminds her that it does a good job of encapsulating the basic story elements of the movie Ratatouille. I found this review to be effective and helpful in my assessment of the material as it pointed out that the book has illustrations that provide excellent support in helping to decode some of the words.
The School Library Journal’s review mentions how the story of this early reader is barebones and misses some of the key points of the story in the movie; Remy’s struggles of being different and his relationship with Linguini. I found that this review pointed out a significant hole in the story of the early reader book and also that the text is limited to a few words per a page.

Synopsis: "Under tables, over carts, and through the dining hall—Remy the rat is on the run! But will this furry fan of fine foods get caught? Find out in this action-packed Step 1 reader based on the film Ratatouille!"
My Review: This was a great book for beginning readers. We have seen the movie Ratatouille, but the style of the book is so different it doesn't feel like you are just reading the movie in print. The sentences are simple as are the words (in fact this is the first book the Munchkin has actually participated in reading, and sounding out the word 'soup').

This book was read for Wesley’s summer reading club. Wesley is my (soon to be five year old) son. This review is what we used for his reading club.

Wesley loves the movie and liked this book a great deal.

This is a good early reader with great use of easy words and fun pictures. The story is a bare outline though and was difficult for my daughter to follow as she has not seen ratatouille / we will try it again when she has watched it.

Simple short phrases with lots of repetition. The story it's self is a very basic version of the movie. It introduces the reader to Remy then follows him to the restaurant up to where he makes the soup.
Young fans of the movie and early readers with enjoy this book.
