Series: The Wild Robot
I was super-excited to see a movie was coming out about this, and decided to re-read the book (oh, and the fact that there's a 3rd one now helped a bit). The Littles wanted to hear it, too, so they've been listening to an audio version. At one point I sat down to read /catch up to them but quickly passed where they were... But then I stopped! Oops. Well, the movie came out, and I hadn't re-finished the book, but we all went anyway and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I do have to say now that I finished the book it is QUITE simplified to be more accessible to younger kids. From what I remembered of it when I watched the movie, I thought it was more-or-less faithful to the story, but now I realize it did change quite a bit. But I feel it's for the better. It made for an entertaining (and often deeply emotional) story that simply portraying the original text would've missed.
