Great book, true to the movie, worked great as my daughters first chapter book
I bought this for my five year old daughter, who is an advanced reader. Although she can read fluently, she is still five and enjoys looking at pictures, so up until this point, I bought books with lots of words, but still with attracting pictures. I have been seeking an opportunity to introduce chapter books to her. My daughter loves the movie Frozen, and has watched the DVD more than 10 times, so I thought this might be a good first chapter book because she already knows the story and this is written very true to the movie. I am so glad I bought this. She reads this book every night (only pictures in this book are on the cover and like 6 pages in the middle of the book). Words that characters speak are almost exact same as what's in the movie. My daughter loves to read the lines exactly how the characters talk. If I read a line and that's different from how it's said in the movie, she corrects me. Reading 7 pages or so each night, she will finish this book in 2 weeks. I am now searching for more disney junior novelization books because it was such a great success to guide her into chapter books.

Follows the movie pretty well and a good read for my daughter
My daughter is in 1st grade and loves the "Frozen" movie. I bought this as a stocking stuffer for her for Christmas and she loved it. She was so excited to read parts that happened in the movie. Whenever she came across a funny part that she remembered in the movie, she would sop reading, find me, and tell me all about it again. Her favorite part was the snowman getting "impaled" with the icicle. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that should worry me. Hmmmm....Definitely a great book to get for your kids.

The usual text-version of the movie, with just a few divergences
My 5-year-old daughter loved the Frozen movie (saw it 4 times, 2x in 3D), and we both like reading this junior novelization. The songs are by far our favorite parts of the film, which is a shame because these Disney junior novelizations, while for the most part being very accurate descriptions of what the film is portraying, fail to seize the novelist's tangible advantages over the filmmaker, while of course being unable to match the filmmaker's power over our emotions via sight, sound, and melody. I take exception to the reviewers who discern additional detail in the book compared to the movie. There are three or four places where the book diverges from the film, but I sense that in these places, the novelist's source material was a non-final version of the script.

Great Way to Encourage Elementary Age Kids to Read
Great for about probably about a 2nd Grade reading level and up. My daughter (in Kindergarten) LOVED the movie, and this was a great way to encourage her excitement about reading. The novelization stayed true to the movie - to the point where my daughter started singing at the appropriate parts. It was intimidating for my daughter to read on their own due to the sheer quantity of words on the page, but it's a great way to turn bedtime stories into a bridge between Goodnight Moon and a "real" book.

Good for Frozn lovers
This book based on a movie is good for kids who liked the movie 'Frozen' and easy readers. It is good for 1st, 2nd, and maybe 3rd graders to read n their own. It does not have every single detail of the movie or lyrics to the songs, but is a pretty good book for the younger group of kids.

Useful extension of the movie
I bought this for my five-year-old and it was a perfect way for him to immerse himself in the story over several nights. The text is a rather slavish, scene-by-scene description of what's in the movie, but this strict adherence of the book to the movie allowed my son to catch some details that he'd missed in the movie. Though the picture set-up is quite common (all pics grouped in a set of glossy pages in the center of the book), I discovered that this arrangement is great for young kids just learning to get along without the support of pictures. Lopsided collection of movie stills, though.

Great sister story
I've written on The Little Mermaid (=TLM) novelization and Cinderella novelization so I'd recommend checking those ones out too since much of what I say here will relate (btw, especially TLM because it's musical)btw, something I forgot for all these books: there are NO pictures. Yes, there are 8 colour-picture pages in the middle of the book - but they add little if anything. So, make sure your child can manage a book without pictures; but seriously, it's a great way to get kids to read chapter books, in my opinion. The chapters are about 5'ish page faces in length (i.e. 3'ish actual pieces of paper) and so for a book about 120 pages it's almost 25 chapters.-Also, although there are lots of ice, snow, cold, winter-related words, it didn't get tiring nor repetitive. I think the author did a VERY good job in describing the frozen landscapes while still keeping the writing fresh.Interestingly, I think there were some additional mini-scenes? (Or at least I didn't remember from the movie) One about Kristoff buying a sled and some new dialogue between the Troll's Fixer-upper song. Nothing major but was a nice little addition :)One thing I found different that the other Disney novelization was I though this used more vocab amd more sophisticated vocab. Examples: "gossamer" in [gossamer green]; "awry" in [magic went awry]; "effigy" in [glowing effigy]; etc.. It only happens maybe once a chapter but, depending on how old the child is, there may be words which need to be explained by an adult and/or would make this not a read-on-your-own. (Unless they know how to use a dictionary?)-So, should you buy?For a child, yes, definitely! So far, this the best written Disney novelization for me. The best thing about it was that it added quite a bit of description / characterization of the sister relationship. Nothing particularly new or inspiring to an adult viewer (I expect), but it was a nice written explanation of the complex sister dynamic for kids. It's a unique perspective which cannot happen in Disney stories that only one princess.5/5

Really close to the film
My daughter loves this book, as it follows the film very closely, so the dialogue is very familiar ('Hoo hoo, big summer blowout!'). The stills from the films are a bit random, featuring some of the more 'minor' moments from the film rather than the big scenes, but it's a big hit in our house (as are all things 'Frozen').

Wirklich schöne Geschichte
Wer den Film liebt wird auch dieses Buch lieben. Es ist in Englisch geschrieben und hat in der Mitte ein paar Bilder drin.Die Sprache ist gut verständlich, also für jeden lesbar. Teilweise werden die Dialoge aus dem Film wiedergegeben.Den Stern abzug gibt es für das komische Papier und die Druckertinte. Es passiert ab und zu, dass die Schrift ein bisschen verwischt.

Si te gustó la película y si quieres aprender inglés.
Para aprender inglés viene genial. Y si te gustó la película es una manera de recrearse más allá de la pantalla, ya que es más largo que cualquier otro libro de la película. Trae unas pocas imágenes de la película en el centro, pero el resto es texto. Una presentación sencilla en papel reciclado. Para lo que vale es genial.
