Reading Hugo Cabret First

Walking through the youth section in the library today with the kids, I picked up The Invention of Hugo Cabret.  As the movie is receiving great reviews, and books tend to be better than movies, I thought this would be a quick and interesting read!  This book is a combination of novel and very graphic picture book.  It also boasts a Caldecott Medal logo, and I have a soft spot for books and movies with award logos... kinda like a kid in the cereal aisle picking out the most colorful box!
