Just like this series' take on [b:Home Alone|25241874|Home Alone The Classic Illustrated Storybook|Jason Rekulak|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1433037702l/25241874._SX50_.jpg|66378846], the movie's events are pared down into a simplified tale for young kids accompanied by charming illustrations. There is little of importance left out of the story in this case, and I was especially tickled by the picture of E.T. among the children's stuffed animals in the closet since it is such an iconic film scene. While reading this to my son, I played music from the movie score in the background, which made it an even more enjoyable and immersive experience for both of us.

Provides a great example of how one story can be adapted for different people and in various forms of media.

The words aren't particularly clever for this picture book version of E.T. but the illustrations are gorgeous!

Although it can never replace the movie, this book was extremely cute and the illustrations were lovely and adorable. It lost some of the emotional impact from the movie, but would be extremely readable for a read-aloud to younger kids!

So adorable! One of my all time favorite movies beautifully illustrated and broken down to a wonderful children’s book.

Las ilustraciones están re hermosas. La historia es la versión simplificada de la película. Icónico ET con su disfraz de fantasma.

I recently discovered that there is a whole line of children's books based off of movies from when I was growing up. Why didn't I know this sooner!! I absolutely love this as now I can share some of my favorite childhood memories with my grandbabies ❣️

E.T. was definitely one of my favorites. I cried like a baby a few times back then, and I bet I would now too.  I remember going to McDonald's to get one of these toys in my happy meal 😂 I always wanted a movie poster but never happened to get one.

This illustrated children's book brought back all that love and then some. The illustrations are great and the book covers the most important parts of the main story. Absolutely recommend for E.T. fans of all ages.

Apaixonante e nostálgico. Não tenho muito o que dizer. Ficou resumidinho de forma bem fiel ao filme.
