Niko’s teacher has been reading this book to the class, and last weekend, we saw the movie. This is the first time Niko has seen a movie based on a book, and he was impressed on how the movie portrayed some of the events from the book. I did tell him that books are always better than the movies as they have more room to fill. His favorite character was Fink the Fox.
The only downside was, his class didn’t finish the book. So, no biggie for us! That evening, he found where they left off, and I finished reading it to him. The next night, he read a few chapters by himself and he finished it again!
As we were reading it, I stopped a few times to see if he was following along so he could see what was missing from the movie. Towards the end of the book were some artists drawings of what he thought everything would look like.
