Category: Juvenile Fiction , Media Tie-In

Here is a novelized version of the new hit comedy film released by Fox Studios in December '06. It's an expanded version of Milan Trenc's picture storybook for children,  The Night at the Museum,  which was first published by Barron's several seasons ago. On his very first night at work, the night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History begins to see the museum's exhibits come to life. He tells his son about the many strange things he sees each night. At first reluctant to believe his father's fanciful tales, the son begins to see Dad in a new light when he, too, spends a night at the museum.  He discovers that his father's amazing world is real. The film's unusual and entertaining story, starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, and Dick Van Dyke, is faithfully recreated in this funny and fanciful novelization for young readers.
