Book Reviews of The Water Horse
Book Review: Excellent book for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
AFter taking my grandson to see The Waterhorse, which he loved, I promised to get him the book and read it to him. He is only seven and a nascent reader, so the plan was to read one chapter each night before bedtime. WEll, one morphed to two which then morphed to three. The book,very different from the movie in plot line, wonderfully depicts the logistics of caring for an unusual creature and it also subtly addresses the relationships between the brother and sister characters and their grandfather and father. My grandson loved this book--including the whimsical illustrations and the stills from the movie--and now we have a list of books we plan to tackle each night. This is the first longer book I have read to him, and it is perfect. The book can spur discussions between adult and child about the difference between it and the film.
