Reviews

[George L · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall, Stephanie Calmenson’s novelisation of Tom and Jerry: The Movie is a charming and entertaining read that captures the essence of the beloved animated film. Fans of the franchise will thoroughly enjoy revisiting the adventures of this cat and mouse team, while newcomers will quickly fall in love with the lovable and mischievous duo.

The book is a perfect stepping stone for children who may be ready to branch out from picture books to longer-form stories; it’s short and entertaining, and the characters are familiar to most children, so it’s easy to jump right in.

I am giving Tom and Jerry: The Movie a solid 7/10.
