Great Read-Along!!

"This ia a great version of what it is - a read along book. If you're not familiar with read alongs, they are quite simple. The CD reads the book, and there is a tone when it's time to turn the page. It is not the movie. The book and CD is a very abbreviated story; the CD runs about 10 minutes. Read Alongs are wonderful for a car trip! I bought this and another read-along, and my 3 year old wanted to hear them over and over on a long vacation drive. Her dad and I got quite tired of hearing it, but it was definitely better than crying or whining! The story is narrated and uses the movie actors voices for the Pooh characters. While there is movie background music during the story, none of the songs are included. The paperback book is small, but does have artwork from the movie.For reading at home, I prefer the Disney Read Aloud version of Piglet's Big Movie, because it is a longer book and includes more of the story. The artwork is also nicer looking on the larger pages.But for the car or when you just can't stop and read a story, this is a terrific read-along to have."

Did not capture the spirit of the movie

"My 2-year-old loves read-along stories and adores Pooh. This one, unfortunately, does not capture the spirit of the feature film. No songs, none of the cute little background stories/flashbacks that were present in the movie. So, this read-along is a little thin. Boring, actually."

Monsters, Inc. was too scary...Piglet's Big Movie is delight

"We really enjoyed the movie at the theater (a couple of times) & have already pre-purchased the dvd. My 3 year old daughter loves "Piglet's Big Movie" and has really enjoyed dancing around & memorizing all the words to the original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack featuring songs by Carly Simon on cd. As for the Read-Along...even though the book is thin, my daughter loves it. I really like how she has to use her listening ears to know that when the chimes sound that it's time to turn the page. I'd definately recommend it! I don't think you need a thick, long book. Children have short attention spans so this is just right! Enjoy the joy it brings to your whole home atmosphere!"
