DogsMom (& others) - Dawn actually reviewed The Water Horse movie in a Books on Screen post at 5 Minutes for Books awhile back and I think we have the exact same opinion about the changes between the book and movie. Here's the link if you'd like to read her thoughts there:

I enjoyed the movie and now am curious when you say the book is so very different. I will have to find a copy.

I think I'm going to note this for summer read aloud for us. I've seen the movie (and I'm sure N1 has read this one) but I haven't.

Oh, goodness, yet another for the TBR list. :)

Ok, I'm marking this one to read. I'm starting a new project with my kids next week - Read aloud 100 books in 2012. Will's going to read 100 books on his own. Though tonight at supper he felt 100 wasn't enough and has set the goal at 1000. I'm all for encouraging him to work toward the new goal. Anyway, this book sounds like a good one for my kids.

Oh I'm so excited to hear about this book. My youngest son has had a Loch Ness Monster obsession for years. Watched the movie and liked it but books are ALWAYS better. :)

Good to hear! I have the book but haven't read it as I watched the movie on a whim and DESPISED it! Yay, I can now read it without waiting to wince as soon as I spread the cover!

This sounds like one to look for. Older Daughter has enjoyed some King-Smith books, but she hasn't read this one. (I just asked her, and she looked at the cover in your post and said, "No, but let's.")

Wonderful, Carrie! Isn't it wonderful when they don't want to quit reading?!? I think we need to read this!
