from screen to book and back again
THESE ARE THE AVENGERS by Thomas Macri (Marvel 2012) is an I-Can-Read book about the six superheroes who are lighting up the big screen right now. Simple text describes the abilities of Thor, Hulk, and the others for very young readers. <265>
LA LUNA by Enrico Casarosa (Pixar 2012) is based on Casarosa's short film for Disney Pixar. A young boy heads out to sea with his father and grandfather. He will work side by side with them for the first time. Their task? To clean up the clutter of stars on the moon's surface. <266>
Steve Purcell's BRAVE was also a Pixar film. Here BRAVE: ONE PERFECT DAY (Disney 2012) enjoys a day off by herself where she does not have to be prim and proper and princess-y. <267>
