Wall-E (Disney/Pixar Wall-E) (Little Golden Book) Hardcover – Picture Book, 13 May 2008

As with all ‘Little Golden Books’, the main story has been simplified and changed here and there to appeal to a younger audience.If you are after a perfect representation of Wall-E then this book probably isn’t for you due to these changes - but in a book that is primarily used as part of a bedtime routine for a three year old (in our house anyway), it’s probably for the best.Parts of the story has been glossed over, and some bits changed, but I suppose trying to explain that an autonomous robotic spaceship captain is holding its passengers hostage and won’t let them return to Earth is probably a bit too much information to fit in one line of a children’s book, so the term ‘bad robot’ is used instead - which isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Let the children be children! :)The whimsical and heart warming story of two robots falling in love without the use of words (source material), is fantastically realised in this book through the simplified plot, and the fantastic illustrations.We have a few ‘Little Golden Books’ & a few ‘Treasure Cove Stories’, the ‘Treasure Cove Stories’ seem to be of better quality and more like a traditional ‘Hardback’, whilst the Little Golden Books are thinner, slightly smaller and feel a tad cheaper.Although this doesn’t take away from the fact that the ‘Little Golden Books’ are great books and enjoyed by both myself and our son.A really nice book that helps share an adults and child’s love for the same story, this will be a firm favourite for years to come.There are also some nice little Easter eggs in the illustrations with the inclusion of Oswald (One of Walt’s first Characters) and another with the name of the Author as Vick-E.

This short picture book clearly captures the essence of classic Little Golden Books, with the same layout, binding and design (the book is therefore quite fragile due to this, but this can be easily forgiven by the low price). The illustrations are gorgeous; so cute and stylised with a Mary Blair -esque touch. The book itself is manages to squeeze Wall-E's fantastic, heart-warming narrative into a simple structure which very small children are sure to love. However, as an adult, I appreciate this book for it's wonderful illustrations and retro feel. A must have for Wall-E fans!

Lovely book, lovely illustrations, great story which is true to the movie :) great value

Awesome :) just like on photo

Very quick delivery and good quality.

the illustrations are really amazing but the book itself it pretty rough and rubbish quality. won’t get much use out of it with the kids before it gets bent or ruined.

We’ve got a growing collection of little golden books so when I saw there was a wall-e one I thought it would be a gentle way to encourage my son to watch the film. The illustrations are great and I loved the Easter egg of Oswald but the story itself was too simplified. Most of these books simplify the story but this seemed like they had reached the page limit and had to finish as quickly as possible.

Little golden books are so cool but I wish the illustrations were a bit better
