Night at the Museum: A Junior Novelization

By Leslie Goldman

Here is a novelized version of the hit comedy film starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, and Dick Van Dyke released by Fox Studios in December '06. On his very first night at work, the night guard at New York's Museum of Natural History begins to see the museum's exhibits come to life. He tells his son about the many strange things he sees each night. At first reluctant to believe his father's fanciful tales, the son begins to see Dad in a new light when he, too, spends a night at the museum. He discovers that his father's amazing world is real.

Parents, teachers, and gift givers will find:

• an exciting book with a heartwarming story
• a fun novelized version of a hit film
• a story that will get kids excited to read!

The film's unusual and entertaining story is faithfully recreated in this funny and fanciful novelization for young readers. It's an expanded version of Milan Trenc's picture storybook for children, The Night at the Museum, which was first published by B.E.S.
