Cute story!

Perfect book for kids! Especially the ones who love the movie Frozen. Just read it in your Olaf impression voice. ( )

Sven and Olaf take over Kristoff's ice delivery duties for the day - without telling him. This one was a bit boring and not as funny as the other Frozen books. Target audience 3 stars, my rating 2. ( )

A nice little collection of short stories with accompanying artwork. Funny and sweet stories about friendship, boredom and loneliness. 5 stars.


1.5 stars. The Frozen Monster by Rebecca Schmidt - Marshmallow gets lonely by himself so Sven and Kristoff get him to help with their ice business. I liked the artwork. The story was alright. Not the best of the bunch.

4 stars. A Royal Sleepover by Brittany Rubiano - the girls, Olaf and Sven have a sleepover. Pretty rough that Anna wakes Elsa up - and Elsa's still the last one to go to bed. They build a fort and tell scary stories, etc. I liked the illustration of the fort. Pretty impressive. My forts never looked so good.

5 stars. Olaf's Birthday by Brittany Rubiano - this was my favourite of the bunch, it was actually pretty funny. Lol "Oooooh!" Olaf said when he saw the lit candles. "Tiny fire!" and "Would you look at that," Olaf said. "Tiny fire makes big fire!"

4.5 stars. The Ice Games by Calliope Glass - Kristoff has always wanted to compete in the Ice Games so Elsa and Anna team up to make his wish come true. This one was also pretty good. The attention to detail in the illustrations was great. For instance in the first page Kristoff is reading a book titled; Reindeer Ventriloquism for Fun and Profit.

But the writing was funny as well; She and Kristoff gave it their all, swooping and speeding around the rink. Kristoff managed a little jump, and Anna only fell down nine times.

Plus I liked the following exchange; "What a sweet little girl," Elsa said. "She reminds me of someone else at her age." "Me?" Anna asked hopefully. "I said 'sweet,' Anna. Not 'annoying." Elsa replied with a wink.

I love Frozen but sometimes their relationship seems completely unrealistic. Little sisters can be pains in the ass, for all you might love them. It also had a nice message about being able to count on your friends.

I understand the irritation with Frozen's monopoly of pop culture and media, but if one is able to forget the over saturation for a moment, she can appreciate that the movie is actually quite great. We saw it in the theaters before it had yet become a juggernaut, and our family loved it. This book is simply a print adaptation of the movie, with deletions or abridgments that shorten the length of the story without altering the basic ideas. The writing is decent, and even better, the book comes with a CD so my young daughters can listen and read along at the same time. Sound effects accompany the text, and a musical note chimes when it is time to turn the page. We like the original movie, and we like this book. I'm sure other Frozen fans will enjoy it, as well.

Brief, but adorable radio drama with voices of the original cast. Not quite as awesome as Gremlins on six LPs but... xD ( )
