An absolutely gorgeous book!Aug 19, 2009
By ScOObydoo
This book will really surprise you - amazing artwork and the full story make this much more than just "a picture book". Anyone who has seen the movie should really consider ordering the book - it is just as magical as the movie!

Ponyo! Ponyo, Ponyo fishy in the sea!Oct 08, 2010
By Desiree
I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old son for Christmas. He loves watching the movie Ponyo, over and over again so I thought that the book would be a great change, since he also loves reading too. I am surprised by this book, its more than a picture book, it actually has some dialogue and story that you can read along to, and follow just like the movie. I can't wait to read it to my son, he probably already has the story memorized, and this book follows the movie exactly. It's just as enjoyable, if not moreso than the movie, the pictures are very nice and they are scenes from the movie. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys this movie.

Ponyo picture bookNov 17, 2009
By ines_rio

A wonderful book full of beautiful illustrations that any child who has fallen in love with the "Ponyo" film, its main characters and their stories will cherish. The page layouts are fun and easy to follow. The book design falls somewhere in between a young readers chapter book and a japanese manga. Both of my children, 2 and 5 years of age, repeatedly requests that we read them this book which has quickly become one of their favorite bedtime stories. A must-have book if you're a Ghibli Studios fan and if your child loves the "Ponyo" characters and their story.

Yet another wonder from MiyazakiAug 11, 2009
By Ioana S. Moisa
"monaurs"
I ordered the book before the movie release because we couldn't wait anymore. The book is wonderful, the pictures are all you would expect from Miyazaki. Ponyo belongs right there with Totoro and Kiki. We cannot wait to see the movie itself !!!

Very Happy with my decision to buy thisAug 05, 2011
By D. Burke
I'll keep it short - this is a great value for what I paid (~$13.) Bought for a 4yr old and a 2yr old who love to watch Ponyo. The book is very nice quality, lots of colorful pages, and I can easily recommend this. I just hope the kids don't ask their parents to read the ENTIRE book before bed... it's a long story :)
