by Book

When Stu Pickles's Reptar invention for the Reptarland amusement park in Paris breaks, he is summoned over to fix it. From the moment Stu and the entire Rugrats crew arrive, life in the French capital is turned upside down. Coco LaBouche, the sneaky head of Reptarland, has an agenda all of her own and is busy scheming with Angelica's help. Chas wants a new wife and Chuckie wants a new mum, but surely Coco is not the right person. Luckily the babies are on hand to sort things out...in their own special way.

Cute for what it is. A fairly accurate novelisation of the movie with minor changes. The language is good for young children, although there is deliberate misspelling of words when the babies talk. Doesn’t bother me but I know some parents don’t like it. And the pictures were a nice touch.

I loved this book so much when I read it, I used to adore the rugrats, and so I remember that I fell in love with this book and with its pictures. ^^ Just 14 years ago...

It was cute. Being a novelization of the hit movie, it goes without saying that it was like watching the movie. Kind of. There were some differences but I didn't make a list of them. Let's just say they didn't depict everything as they were in the movie. I enjoyed it in the sense that Rugrats was much better than some of the other nicktoons from today.

There was one big OOPS though LoL. On one page, it says that Kimi joined Tommy, Chuckie, Phil & Lil into the big Reptar. Then, maybe two pages later, it says they picked Kimi up on the way to Notre Dame. Methinks someone was either rush reading before they released it or just didn't care since it's for kids or they didn't think anyone would notice. Just saying that you can't have it both ways. She wasn't there, then she appeared to get onto the Reptar monster and then disappeared again to be picked up on the way to notre dame. I mean that makes no sense lol.

Still cute though.

Rugrats in Paris: The Movie Novelisation does exactly what it is supposed to. It acts as a supplement to actually watching the movie itself. Granted, the language and sentences used are quite juvenile and very suited for a child, the book entertained me as much as it should have. While it was not fantastic, it was nice replaying over the events of the movie. I love Rugrats, and I will not shy away from admitting that. The book is really quick to read, (1-2 hours) so I think it's worth that little bit of time to just go over the movie. Plus, the book described (perhaps artificially, but it is done so well that it is believable) some of the characters' inner thoughts, which worked.

Another case of someone slapping a favorite children's character on the cover of a book and hoping it will sell. A weak story and nothing my avid reader finds engaging.
