I and my husband both read this to our 3 1/2 old and our 5 1/2 year old. I have never seen the original Karate Kid movie, while he has. Now the main feature of a good kids picture book is that it needs to be written for parents too. If your kids like it, they will ask you to read it over and over and so it needs to be entertaining for the parents. So, the different perspectives matter. I don't have nostalgia, while my husband does. Both of us are ok with the book, so it works for reading to your kids.My kids both really liked the book. The story follow a boy who moves to a new town, gets bullied by some neighborhood kids and rescued by the school janitor, then asks the janitor to teach him karate. Instead the janitor has him do a bunch of chores. Then after so many chores, the janitor tells him all those repetitive motions on the chores are karate moves, and teaches him karate, and he fights in a karate tournament against the kids who tried to bully him earlier. And, it has a happy ending. My kids seemd to like it because the story was easy for them to follow, and now they say they like karate.For me, this book was fine to read. The story is concise and makes sense. It's 40 pages, so it's a pretty long picture book. Each page is a full illustration with deep rich colors. Pictures are generally similar style and quality to the front cover illustration. They are cartoony but realistic with a lot of detail. The text is simple and overlaid on the pictures. There are a few sentences to a paragraph per page. The recommended age is 4 to 8 years. That seems accurate. The language and story are simple, and the story is told heavily in pictures. This is also a book that is intended to be read to a child, and will be very simple to read once they are reading themselves. By the end of elementary school, they will have moved on. So, it's for younger kids.My husband also read this to our kids. He did watch the Karate Kid as a child, so he has some nostalgia for the story and maybe expectations. He said he liked the book. He says it's a concise clear retelling of the story and gets the story while also being written for little kids to understand and follow.Overall, this is a pretty good kids picture book. The recommended age of 4 to 8 is accurate. At 40 pages, it's a little longer than the average picture books, most of which seem to be around 32 pages. Illustrations are good quality. Both my kids, 3 and 5 liked the story. The story also worked for me and my husband, which is important because this is definitely a book that you read aloud to kids, so you have to read it too (and sometimes you have to read it over and over).
When I first introduced my daughter to the more interesting (to me) movies of my childhood, the Karate Kid was one of my first choices and greatest successes. She's seen all four of the originals now, multiple times each, and frequently requests them on family movie night. This book, of course, fits right in line with the movie, and she loves it.The art is cute, the story is retold pretty well, but I think there are some important details that are missed. To me, part of the charm of the Karate Kid is in how Daniel's childlike exuberance is tempered and refined through his training, and his self-confidence and tenacity are revealed in how he overcomes bullies and the physical damage inflicted on him during the tournament. He wins respect from the bullies in the end through force of will and through discipline, not because, as the book suggests, Mr. Miyagi's karate was "better". This book glosses over the idea of bullying, the fact that karate can be more than just hi-ya and punch and kick, and that, to me, was the true reason to watch the films.Missing in this tale are most of Miyagi's aphorisms, the entire relationship between Daniel and his girlfriend, the tournament injuries, most of the bullying, any indication of Daniel's flashes of anger, the bonsai lessons, and the beach scene. That's a lot to take away, but in the end, it makes for a more or less solid tale of what many kids would find to be the more interesting, if direct and surface level lessons of the movie. I guess the adult in me wanted just a little more.
While it's important to be able to counteract bullies, someone shouldn't have to excel at martial arts. Fans of the movie will love reading this book to their little ones.My grandson is almost four and he studies karate, so I'm going to read this to him, but I'm also going to speak to him about how important it is not to bully other children.
I just love this illustrated children's book on the 1984 classic film, The Karate Kid. Pat Morita earned a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination. Ralph Maachio played Daniel.The book is beautifully illustrated and designed for younger readers. They omitted Daniel's relationship with a valley girl from the book. The book focuses on Daniel and his teacher's relationship as student and teacher.The book is ideal for young readers and even those of us who fondly remember the film.
This is a really fun book. I loved the Karate Kid movies growing up, so I was excited to share this book with my kids. The pictures are bright and absolutely beautiful. The characters are drawn so adorably. The story is cute and it really kept my kids' attention. It's a great quality book. we love it!
I enjoyed the book and remembered the movie; it's certainly a condensed version (you can't usually paint a house in one day), but it's a good book for kids. And I love Mr. Miyagi and the way Daniel learned the moves by doing the chores--and the exercise helped too. The illustrations do enhance the storyline, but I especially loved the artwork on the endpapers--the tools and all the bonsai in the garage. (They need more light, I think.)
I never saw the movie or movies, but one doesn't need to be familiar with them to enjoy this children's book. The pictures are delightful, and the story shows young children how they must work to excel at something. Plus, it offers a more "old-fashioned" idea of dealing with bullies--you have to learn to defend yourself. Some will not like that idea, but it's a tried and true method.
So fun reading this to my three year old since this movie is from my childhood. It's a simple story that hits the highlights of the movie and talks about perseverance, hard work and standing up to bullies in a positive way. Illustrations are really cute. My daughter reads it every night now.
