Chill Out! is the ninth in a series of chapter books based on Phineas and Ferb, published on December 13, 2011.
Book Summary[]
Perry in halftone
Chill Out! is a near word-for-word adaptation of the episodes "S'Winter" and "I Scream, You Scream", presented as Part One and Part Two. The book makes no transition between the two parts. Differences between the book and the episodes as broadcast are noted below. In general, most of the differences are that of timing, where an event is described as happening at a slightly different time (usually before) than when it happened in the episode, though some lines are missing from the episode.
Each page typically has a picture from the episode that helps the reader visualize what is being described. The picture is a halftone screenshot from the episode (taken from the wide format originals), cropped into custom shapes such as rectangles in a picture frame format. Each chapter includes a picture of a different character at the beginning of the chapter, and Perry's image appears next to each page number.
