I finished reading this today, and was amazed.  The funny thing is that the book is SO short.  I felt like it flew by faster than any book I’ve read, short of Curious George, or any of the other children’s books I’ve read to my daughter recently.
I’ve heard that the movie stuck pretty closely to the book.  If you think I was overstating how much God takes part in the first book, wait until you read this one.  I’m going to see the movie this weekend.
