Minions: Long Live King Bob
The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters-from T. rex to Napoleon-the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression.
But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he-alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob-ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.
The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first-ever female super-villain. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation.
Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the '60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination's Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.
A storybook based on the new feature film!

All it tells is a scene from the movie nothing special.

This story is taken from part of a movie, however, I think for younger readers, the writing may be a little too small. However, it isn't too bad.
The pictures aren't illustrated, they are just taken from the movie. I think I might have liked the book more if the book had had some illustrations done by part of the team to give it its own unique feel.
Overall, I'd give this book a straight 3 stars.

One of the better Minions books. Minions overthrow the throne of England for eight days. I think Minions should just stick with the movies.

This book was an adaptation of the movie. It has too many words for the purposes of my art lesson for kindergarten students.
