The
Croods Movie Novelization
Tracey
West
Grug and his family, the Croods,
are a very safe and careful cave family. Life isn’t always fun, but they are
alive. When trouble seems to be nearing their cave, they barricade themselves
in. Eep, the daughter, has a spirit of adventure and sneaks out of the cave one
evening in search of fun. She soon finds a friend to lead them on a wild
adventure to safety. The vocabulary is appropriate for the age group specified.
But even adults will enjoy reading this fun, fast paced book. Colored pictures
in the middle of the book help the reader imagine the characters and anticipate
the movie. Without seeing the movie, I can’t judge how closely the book follows
the script. But either way, young readers will fall in love with the imagery
the author created about the characters. A web address gives the young readers
more access to information about the movie and provides activities. Parents
will appreciate the message of family and accepting others for who they are.
I received this book free of charge from Children's Lit in exchange for my honest review.
