This book has been a favorite of mine since grade school. When I first heard it was going to be made into a movie, I was both excited and nervous. I believed it would either be great, or be a great disappointment. We chose to take our four children (ages 4, 5, 5, & 8) to see this movie as part of hour Christmas treats. All of them sat still, glued to the screen in awe. The characters had the whole theater alive with laughter, gasps, and cheering. Our children clapped at several parts and they have raved about favorite parts since leaving the theater. It was our 4 year old's first time seeing a movie at a theater, and she now has a very enjoyable experience to remember. I was very happy with this movie.
