Frozen: A Sister More Like Me (Disney Storybook (eBook)) Kindle Edition

Frozen has with great ease become my favourite Disney movie, and I've been watching these films for over 20 years. Constructed almost entirely like a stage-play, it follows a fantastically lovely story about the redemptive, healing nature of true love.One of the questions people often ask about the film is "What did Anna and Elsa do for thirteen years?" Did Elsa really stay locked up in her room for more than a decade just causing ice-damage her to her wallpaper? Why didn't Anna do anything else with her time?A Sister More Like Me gives some answers to those questions with its decent rhyming narrative and its utterly gorgeous artwork.To start, what I love about this book is that it avoids a simple retelling of the film. Children's books based on movies tend to be bare-bone summaries of the storyline and they offer very little, giving no new experience or adding nothing to an existing pool of information. A Sister More Like Me touches on the story of Frozen -- in fact, it's recommended that you see the film before reading this book, either to yourself or to an audience -- but it tells its own story as well.It follows Anna and Elsa through thirteen years of their life and what they did in their time together, apart and together again. Anna went horseback riding for fun. Elsa stayed in and read books and gained knowledge. The book looks at aspects of both their hobbies, interests and personalities. Anna is the sort to wake up with her room looking like her cupboard exploded. Elsa would meticulously make sure everything was in its right place. The poetry follows their musings about what each sister likes and what they wish the other would be like. They recognise one another's differences and think that perhaps, it may be better to have a sister who was more like them. Fun and outgoing for Anna, quiet and reserved for Elsa. But of course, they learn that that's not exactly what makes a sister who she is. This is a lovely story for anyone learning to accept that someone you love is different from you, but that's the thing that makes them wonderful!The thing that makes this book what it is, though, is the beautiful artwork by Brittney Lee. Her drawings say more than words can. She can communicate dozens of ideas in a single image. Some of the shots you will see differ from what is seen in the movie, but that's not a detriment. In fact, it feels like a perfect telling of the story from another perspective.If you had a lot of feelings about how amazing the sisterly relationship was in Frozen, A Sister More Like Me is the best companion material out there. Actually, if you enjoyed Frozen on the whole, it's practically the best and only book I'd recommend other than The Art of Frozen. The other Frozen storybooks I've read or bought pale in comparison to this beauty.The product itself is very well made. The book is big which is great as the pictures are gorgeous (Wait, what?), the pages are full colour on stiff paper, and the cover has this nice sparkly effect which just adds some charm to it as opposed to cheapening its presentation. Perhaps the only complaints that I could have is that the fonts could've been more expressive to suit the tone of the characters' voices and that it was too short.All in all, a high recommendation to die-hard Frozen fans, collectors or anybody who wants a nice book to give to a child.

My son loved this book! We will read it again! It’s very inventive and creative. The rhyming of the book was unique and amazing.

This book was incredibly cute! I absolutely loved reading through it. I have to admit that I bought it because I knew that the artwork was going to be gorgeous but the cute rhyming lines won me over, too. Anna and Elsa both have lines in this book. Each speak with a different color and font. They talk about their childhood as well as what they thought of the other when they were growing up together. Siblings can always be difficult with one another and this story really shows how you can be annoyed with someone for their differences one moment and love them for it the next.I would really recommend for people of any age to pick up this book because of its incredible artwork. I love the work Brittney Lee does and can't wait to see more from her. Disney really outdid themselves with making sure that this one was going to look beautiful and made the right choice in using Brittney Lee again.I think people of any age can get something out of this book. Of course younger children will adore hearing more from the princess and Queen but I also liked a little insight into the years that were skipped over during the 'Do You Want to Build a Snowman?' montage. The pictures show more of Anna and Elsa growing up and we learn more about their hobbies and personalities.Overall, this was a fun read that I really enjoyed!

I ordered this book for my sister's 27th birthday. I know it's a little strange getting an adult a children's book for a gift but this story was just too perfect. My sister and I both love Frozen. She recommended I watch the movie because she said the characters of Ana and Elsa reminded her so much of us. When I came across this book and read it, I had tears in my eyes. It reminds me of how my sister and I let our differences pull us apart once but how we have come back together even stronger. The artwork is also stunning. My sister is an artist so I knew she would appreciate that. She read it right after opening and when she looked up she had tears on her cheeks. This isn't the most expensive or fancy gift I've given her but it's one of the most meaningful. We both love this book so much and plan on reading it to our daughters someday. I highly recommend this book to sisters of all ages.

She didn’t like it but did like that they overcame each other, short sightedness, and became best friends for forever. And live happily ever after.

The book was super cute and I love that it told the story about the bond between sisters, despite their differences. The drawings are very similar to the movie and my toddler enjoys reading it with mommy because she has a sister on the way. It's helping her get super excited about having a sister and that makes me very happy! Overall it's a great buy. And by the way, I first saw this book at Disney World where it retails for about $16. I looked it up on Amazon while I was in line getting ready to buy it and immediately put it down when I found it on here with Prime shipping for much less. It did take a few weeks to receive because it was out of stock but I was in no hurry and I'd rather save money. I definitely recommend that you look on here before buying anything elsewhere. :-)

I liked that it was about two sisters because I have a sister who is older than me. We are different but we still get along.

"A sister more like me" is a sweet book with beautiful art, but I received the wrong book... I live in south korea so conducting a return, financially, wasn't worth the effort.It's a bummer.

Loved reading unstoppable so interesting liked it so much. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 will recommend to my friends to read this book. Love it.

Beautiful illustrated book!!! great for little kids!!!!

好きなアーティストさんなので何度も見返しています。大事にしたい一冊です。

I had read a review of this book and decided to purchase it for my daughter. We love the beautiful illustrations and story that it tells. It's an interaction between two sisters that realize how much they love one another just the way they are and wouldn't what the other to change. To me it tells the story of learning to love unconditionally. I recommend the purchase of this book.

Quand j'ai ouvert le colis, j'ai été agréablement surprise !Superbe livre à la couverte rigide cartonnée, il est en grand format, les pages et images sont magnifiques, imprimé sur papier glacé, en plus, il y a une jolie sur-couverture digne des livres de collection !Je le recommande vivement à tous les fans de Frozen (la reine des neiges), le livre est en anglais et raconte une jolie histoire des liens unissant deux soeurs très opposées mais unies par l'amour fraternel.Cadeau idéal pour les petites filles qui ont une soeur mais attention, il est en anglais tout de même ! :DExcellent rapport qualité prix, j'aurai pas pu trouver mieux, envoi rapide (en deux jours), merci Amazon !
