Monsters, Inc.: The Essential Guide

Summary: A Great book for a Great film!!!
Review: Have you been lying awake at night wondering what Boo's real name is? Perhaps you've been wondering how old Henry J. Waternoose was when he took over the company of Monsters, Inc. Or maybe you just want to know where Mike buys those REALLY big contact lenses.

Puzzle no longer. All these questions are answered in this wonderful and entertaining guide to Disney & Pixar's awesome animated movie. Each page of the book is filled with pictures of the monsters from the film, and is filled with all new facts that were not even revealed in the movie!

For example, on Sulley's page, we learn how the big blue guy met his best friend, Mike. It also tells us who's holding the current Scaring record that Sulley and Randall are racing to beat! Celia's page reveals the names of the snakes that make up her hair, and tells us that she and Mike won a seven-legged race together at a company picnic.

I would tell you more, but I don't wanna spoil everything this great book has to offer. I will, however, tell you my only complaint: Why doesn't Yeti have a page that tells us why he's been exiled?

Summary: A must-buy
Review: This cute book is just right for younger readers: large and short (which makes it easy to hold), and also crammed full of brightly colored illustrations. First off, the book starts out with the monsters (Sulley, Mike, Boo (Ok, not really a monster), Waternoose, Randall, Roz and Celia), then it goes into the Scarers, the Scare Assistants, the Wranglers (Smitty and Needleman), the Scare Floor, Door Stations, the Simulator Room, the C.D.A., Boo's room, Sulley's apartment, and finally ends with Monstropolis. Each item above is described, with informative and funny sidebars, and many cute and colorful pictures.

I bought this book for my nephew, who absolutely loves it! If you have a little reader who loves the movie Monsters, Inc., then you must buy this book. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Superb supplement to the film
Review: This one is not "just for kids". The rather thin tome illustrates and provides enticing information on the production and its wonderful characters. This is an absolutely necessary supplement to the book, "The Art of Monsters,Inc", as this publication presents the characters in their finished forms and not merely as "concept art".

If you enjoyed the film, you should have this book!
