Rise of the Guardians: The Story of Jack Frost Illustrated by Larry Navarro Simon Spotlight, 2012.
$3.99 PICTURE BOOK Content: PG.
Jack Frost is a young boy who didn’t remember his
past, but knew how to use his magical staff to create snow and frost in the
world. At first he used his magic
to cause mischief and fun, but when the Guardians enlisted his help he started
working for the good of children.
The Guardians include Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny and the
Sandman. Jack Frost along with his
new friends has to fight against Pitch (the boogeyman) because he stole all
children’s memories. The Guardians
prevail against Pitch in a final battle.
This book is a quick summary based on a movie and doesn’t have a lot of
story development. The
illustrations of Pitch are dark and menacing, a little too scary for my 3 year
old. It’s an interesting enough
story, but the overall quality of this particular book isn’t great.
