45/100
👎 Skip It

As a novelty toy-book tied to the animated film it does what it sets out to do — young fans of Boog and Elliot can push buttons and hear their favorite characters. But there is no literary content here, the sound mechanisms will eventually fail, and the experience is entirely derivative. Buy the movie instead.
