Here is a novelized version of the new hit comedy film released by Fox Studios in December ’06. It’s an expanded version of Milan Trenc’s picture storybook for children, The Night at the Museum, which was first published by Barron’s several seasons ago. On his very first night at work, the night guard at New York’s Museum of Natural History begins to see the museum’s exhibits come to life. He tells his son about the many strange things he sees each night. At first reluctant to believe his father’s fanciful tales, the son begins to see Dad in a new light when he, too, spends a night at the museum. He discovers that his father’s amazing world is real. The film’s unusual and entertaining story, starring Ben Stiller, Robin Williams, Mickey Rooney, and Dick Van Dyke, is faithfully recreated in this funny and fanciful novelization for young readers.

Larry goes to rescue his friends when they are moved to the Smithsonian, but he and some old and new friends must battle an Egyptian pharaoh and his army of villains for control of the tablet that brings museum exhibits to life.

This book for middle grade readers recreates the story of the blockbuster film Night At the Museum. A security guard at the museum, Larry Daly, has settled into his role as caretaker of the museum's magical inhabitants, but he's about to face his biggest challenge yet as he and his friends discover that the mysterious source that brings them to life is fading. It's up to Larry to figure out how and why his friends exist before it's too late! Includes 8 page full color insert with photographs from the movie.
