Honestly i really liked this, even though i read it at 15 and it's below my reading level! It was really simple compared to the other books i read and just relaxing. Super short too so easy to finish in a day.

Another one I listened to with the kids. Quick, enjoyable. Made us want to watch the movie, so we did.

This book is as cute as the movie. Such a great story about parent letting go and child growing up, going on their own. Our family still says some of the favorite lines from this.

4.0 out of 5 stars

Ever so slightly changed from the movie which made me miss the classic lines that they had changed but still a great story

One of the greatest Pixar movies. The voices were not that conducive for sleeping.

This book by Gail Herman is amazining. This book is a really like the movie. Gail Herman did a good job of Making Finding Nemo into a book. This book changes a movie into a book.I really liked reading this book.I think that if you read this book before watching the movie it would be the same thing. This book is for anyone who really wants to see a Finding Nemo but cant. This book is really an amazing book.

Join Marlin, a brave clown fish, who must embark on an amazing journey across the ocean to find his son, Nemo. Along the way he meets a friendly but forgetful regal blue tang fish named Dory, vegetarian sharks, surfer dude turtles, hypnotic jellyfish, hungry seagulls, and many others.

Finding Nemo is a great audio book for anyone who is a fan of the movie. With a complete retelling of the film, its just like listening to the story come to life again. Adam Verner does an excellent job with giving each character an individual voice, as well as, adding sound effects.

Finding Nemo is a great addition for anyone who is a fan of the movie, but this is also a great addition for any child who enjoys fish. Finding Nemo isn't just a great tell about a father trying to find his lost son and not giving up hope from finding him, but it's very informative. You find which species of fish interact with each other, how long a turtle can live, what whales eat and what can leave in the murky ink black depths of the ocean floor.

A charming and faithful adaptation of the Finding Nemo movie, the author kept basically everything in from the film and was very well done.
Nemo a little Clownfish defies his father and goes off on his own in the sea and gets into all kinds of adventures and scrapes while his frantic father with a memory defective Regal Blue Tang fish called Dory race to find him before any harm befalls him. At times touching yet funny especially the parts with Dory and loved by both children and adults alike, personally i loved it and think its definitely worth reading whatever your age.

This isn't the exact book I read but it has the same author and about the same pages. I read this book out loud to my 5 year old. She loved it. It was helpful that she already knew the story line and could visualize what I was reading.
