(DLA Las Piñas GS LRC) July Book of the Month - Minions

You might have watched the highly-anticipated comedy with your entire family and friends on the perfect date you've already planned as thorough as you could since the end credits of 2013's wildly popular Despicable Me 2 foreshadowed Stuart, Kevin, and Bob auditioning for a brand new film which turned out to be a Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment production featuring small yellow impressible creatures who call themselves Minions!

There's no Margo, Edith, and Agnes this time as it's not a sequel but we get to learn firsthand how the Minions evolved through the ages from shapeless single-celled organisms at the beginning of time into the lovely clever sidekicks they are today.

We witness the adventures they had to go through as each master they followed was eventually replaced (or eaten) by a badder one. It's as intriguing as a Minion's life can be especially when it's brave Kevin leading the way alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob as they venture into a world that may not be quite ready for dominionation just yet.

The Library has recently acquired three (3) full-color books namely Minions: The Junior Novel, Minions: Seek and Find, or Long Live King Bob! to re-live the thrilling journey that ultimately led all of us to the world's first-ever female super-villain Scarlet Overkill and Minionkind's biggest challenge yet: annihilation.

Seek and Find is a hard-bound written by Trey King filled with over 200 things to find inside while The Junior Novel was adapted by Sadie Chesterfield. Long Live King Bob! puts the smallest Minion yet in the spotlight. Bob has big dreams but will his unconditional love of everyone and everything lead to triumph or trouble? He messes up big time when they are sent to steal the English queen's prized crown jewels but ends up becoming the new King of England instead.
