Ice Age: The Movie Novel Paperback – February 5, 2002

fine

This novelization of the hit movie ICE AGE tells the story of the movie in a written form that just about anyone over the age of eight can understand. The book starts off the same way the movie does, with a prologue concerning Scrat. However, unlike the film, Scrat doesn't make a return appearance until the end of the book. The book makes some things in the movie clearer (such as Manny's family) and there are a few slight differences that the filmmakers must have changed to improve the flow of the film; the largest of these being the sloth Sylvia who has a strong attraction to Sidney. Several photos from the movie are included. The only complaint about the book is that it doesn't move quite as fast as the film. However, it's still a delightful story. Overall, not a bad book and one that fans of the film will probably enjoy reading.
