The minions are introduced in this book as a group, and their purpose in life to serve a despicable master is shared. Minions have served many masters over the years, but none of them ever work out well for the minions. After wandering around aimlessly and sad for a while, Kevin, along with Bob and Stuart, decide to go off on an adventure to find a new master.

Everybody knows the minions, so this book could be a good supplement to children who have watched the movies. This book is actually the beginning of the movie, Minions, and it contains images from the film as well. The text is always on a white background to aid in textual focus. This is considered a level 2 book from the Passport to Reading leveled reader series.

I love these pre-literacy books that come with high interest themes. This books starts with a challenge for the listener to find 4 words (it's a read aloud). This has the listener looking through the text and thinking about what the reader is reading. Great way to get the listener to start decoding.

More of a summary of the movie plot than an actual story.
