 Don't take a child to the movie December 27, 2008

The book is OK, and the movie is OK (not great) but there is a trailer for a film called Coraline about a girl who is asked to sew buttons on her eyes, it is a dark horror tale and my kids are having nightmares. Despereaux is G, there is no wa Coraline can get a G. Either go late, or make sure your kids don't see the Coraline preview - if they do you will regret it.
 What fun to have a pop up version of the movie! December 15, 2008

Candlewick has outdone themselves with this book. There are a nice variety of pop ups in here with a clever set of enhancements to the storyline. This is a beautiful book that captures the charm of the origninal story. I especially like the tiny little storybook inside. Little details like that were not spared in production, and this will provide delight to children as they review the story, whether from the movie, or the original novel.
