Якщо я не помиляюсь, то я дивилась тільки 1 частину про Анну та Ельзу, але там наче не було в кінці маленьких сніговиків, але в мене чомусь картинка де повз Олафа проходять сніговички та він їх називає на ім'я.

Elza rengia šventę Annos gimimo dienos proga. Tačiau atėjus gimtadienio rytui Elza ima čiaudėti ir iš to atsiranda maži sniego seniai, kurių nepastebi nei Anna nei Elza... išsskyrus Kristofą ir Olafą, kurie saugo gimtadienio tortą. Galų gale Elza ima karščiuoti ir Anna priversta ją parvesti namo į lovą. Na, o mažieji sniego seniai iškeliauja gyventi pas Marshmallow sniego senį į buvusią Elzso pilį kalnuose.

Kas gi nežino įžymiosios Elzos ir Annos iš „Frozen“. Šita knyga apie trumpą filmuką „Frozen Fever“, kurio veiksmas rutuliojasi metai po pirmojo „Frozen“ filmo. Istorija labai nuotaikinga ir smagi. Knyga skirta jaunesniojo mokyklinio amžiaus vaikams. Ar ji išversta į lietuvių kalbą labai abejoju... Šią ebook radau ZLibrary puslapyje ir labai nudžiugau, kad yra tokia knygelė, kurią ėmiau skaityti. Knygelė tikrai plona, tad perskaičiau per vieną dieną.

I remember when I first discovered that there was a junior novelization of the short movie Frozen Fever, and I was amazed that a seven-minute movie was adapted into a ninety-two-page junior novelization (written by Victoria Saxon). I figured that the novelization must have been laden with new material and an extended plot, and for the most part, I wasn't surprised or disappointed. The novelization does extend the story a bit, adding a lot more dialogue than is in the short movie (since most of the short movie is composed of the song "Making Today a Perfect Day"); there is even a flashback scene to Anna's birth. I love Frozen, but I was honestly a bit disappointed when I saw Frozen Fever because there isn't really much of a plot. Elsa has planned a surprise birthday party for Anna, which is threatened when rambunctious, mischievous little snowmen are created by Elsa's sneezes. I guess that it would be rather unreasonable for one to expect an intricate plot from a seven-minute movie, though. The junior novelization does expand on it a bit more but mostly just by, as I said, extending scenes and adding dialogue; there still is not much of a plot or a conflict. Frozen Fever also introduces a lot of plot-holes that no one on the web seems to be questioning. Olaf continues to sport his own personal flurry, but the little snowmen that Elsa creates are not protected by such magic, so why don't they melt? The end of the story also reveals that Marshmallow is still living in Elsa's icy palace, but why hasn't he and the palace melted? I was also hoping that the novelization would explain how/why Elsa's sneezes create life, but the 102-minute first movie doesn't even explain how she created Olaf, so I shouldn't be surprised by that. I was not surprised that the characterizations of the characters in the novelization was very simplistic, since it is a junior novelization intended primarily for children, but I do believe that all diehard Frozen fans should read this since it offers a better look at Anna's perfect day.

Not sure why we need a novelization of a short film...but, this one was good for what it was.

I was really curious to see how they'd pull this off since the majority of the short is just a big musical number, but Victoria Saxon did a great job. It's a lot less dry than a lot of the other junior novelizations I've read before.
My one complaint is that it gets quite repetitive when the snowgies show up. Every single time we have to hear about how the sisters don't see them with very little variation on the phrasing. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this more than I expected.

A fun story to read to kids or to let them read on their own. It follows the general plot of the animated short but greatly expands on it. It doesn't include all of the dialogue from the short and certainly not the song, but it's a fun alternate take on the story.

Good story. I haven’t seen the animation that it’s based on.

I didn't know they made a book from this animated short. This book, so far, is so cute and incredible. I highly recommend it to children of all ages.

Such a cute little read AND I got to spend an hour of nap time reading to favorite girl 🩷🌻

Cute, and I liked how it followed the tv short, but I imagine it would have been difficult to follow had I not seen the video.

My little one has read a lot of Frozen books over the past year and she normally just enjoys them and we move on but this one she absolutely loved for some reason. She had me read about 90% of the book without even moving and laughed and asked questions the entire time.
This book contains pictures from the short cartoon it accompanies and since we haven't seen it yet she was excited to look at them all as we read through the scenes they portrayed.
I love that the focus of most of the Frozen novels is sisterhood. There's a little bit of hinting towards Anna/Kristoff but for the most part these are all solely Elsa/Anna novels. It's a nice change from most Disney stories.

This book is an expanded story of the mini movie. I enjoyed all the background information. I especially enjoyed the flashbacks to the girls' childhood. But it's still too short, with not enough pictures from the movie.

It is another thing about frozen. It is Anna's birthday. Elsa is looking for a cake. She knows she needs chocolate but she does not know which kind. The baker just ends up making a cake with every single chocolate they have at the bakery. Elsa and Anna love it.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cute story. Fans of Frozen will love it. It is exactly like the short story shown in theaters but there is even more added to make the story better. It was great. Anyone who is looking for more Frozen adventures should definitely read this book.

The very moment I watched the short I loved it! And it just happened that while I was a bookstore I found this book! It was great even though it was an easy read.

Surprisingly funny. Yes it's a cheesy Frozen story but there are several clever bits that actually made me laugh out loud.

I like this book because it shows how much elsa loves anna.

Although the book was cute, I'm not sure how I feel about books being produced after a movie.
