A little more matter of fact than the movie but still beautiful so far. Very digestible bites for the kiddo. The chapters are pretty much too short imo and border on 'shorts'. Thankfully they are not too episodic in nature and more like paragraph breaks for ideas.

The writing is slightly more brutal than i remember the movie feeling. Not crazy but the peril is more pronounced.

I had to keep telling the kiddo to lay down - even though she was dead tired. I think it helps that she has seen the movie so is anticipating the story and enjoying the cute animals, mixed with her recent experiences seeing some of these very animals in real life. So far so good and she is confident enough to read a page or two herself.
