Great book based on the motion Picture King Kong! My 4th graders loved it!

Carl Denham could not have imagined a better place to shoot his movie. Skull Island was perfect -- its lush jungle, massive ruins, and exotic creatures looked incredible through his camera lens. But when his lead actress, the stunning Ann Darrow, is taken by the islanders and captured by a giant gorilla called Kong, the movie takes on a life of its own. Follow Carl Denham and his crew across Skull Island as they battle ferocious dinosaurs and deadly giant insects, and pursue Kong, the eighth wonder of the world!
