Wall-E (Disney/Pixar Wall-E)
J**C
Simplified story, beautiful illustrations perfect for bedtime!
As with all ‘Little Golden Books’, the main story has been simplified and changed here and there to appeal to a younger audience.If you are after a perfect representation of Wall-E then this book probably isn’t for you due to these changes - but in a book that is primarily used as part of a bedtime routine for a three year old (in our house anyway), it’s probably for the best.Parts of the story has been glossed over, and some bits changed, but I suppose trying to explain that an autonomous robotic spaceship captain is holding its passengers hostage and won’t let them return to Earth is probably a bit too much information to fit in one line of a children’s book, so the term ‘bad robot’ is used instead - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Let the children be children! :)The whimsical and heart warming story of two robots falling in love without the use of words (source material), is fantastically realised in this book through the simplified plot, and the fantastic illustrations.We have a few ‘Little Golden Books’ & a few ‘Treasure Cove Stories’, the ‘Treasure Cove Stories’ seem to be of better quality and more like a traditional ‘Hardback’, whilst the Little Golden Books are thinner, slightly smaller and feel a tad cheaper.Although this doesn’t take away from the fact that the ‘Little Golden Books’ are great books and enjoyed by both myself and our son.A really nice book that helps share an adults and child’s love for the same story, this will be a firm favourite for years to come.There are also some nice little Easter eggs in the illustrations with the inclusion of Oswald (One of Walt’s first Characters) and another with the name of the Author as Vick-E.

Don't buy
Awful copy, I actually thought this was the proper version, the edges are rough and uncovered, you can clearly see the cardboard which is off putting, the story is so short it doesn't even explain anything, I'm so disappointed, even though I'm an adult, Wall-E has been my favourite film since it first came out 11 years ago when I was a young teen, I've been collecting Wall-E things for years and saw this as something I could add to my collection and my son also now loves Wall-E as much as I do, but this was so disappointing, even for people just collecting these types of books or buying them as gifts, just don't, it's a waste of money.

Disappointed
We’ve got a growing collection of little golden books so when I saw there was a wall-e one I thought it would be a gentle way to encourage my son to watch the film. The illustrations are great and I loved the Easter egg of Oswald but the story itself was too simplified. Most of these books simplify the story but this seemed like they had reached the page limit and had to finish as quickly as possible.

Not the proper book
Absolutely awful reprint. Clearly not printed by an actual book company. The edges are rough and the binding is really weird. The graphics are good but i fear I might slice a finger open on the raw cardboard edges from the front and back cover.

Disappointed
It is a bad sumary of the movie, even my 5 years old says but that’s not what happens. Not recomended
