I’m surprised at how different the book is from the movie! I know there are many different versions, but how did I not know! I am enjoying reading it with my daughters who are experiencing this version before ever seeing the movie! I can’t wait for their reaction!

I’m usually a the book was better than the movie, but for this one I’m not so sure… It’s written so simply and I feel like having watched the movie is what is giving me such a great picture in my head. However, the dialogue between characters is really fun; no different from the movie, but sometimes producers spruce it up, so it’s nice to know that was the authors intent.
