The Muppets: The Movie Junior Novel is a book based on the film The Muppets. This 144-page paperback novelization features an 8-page insert of movie photos.

The book includes many scenes and plot points that did not make it to the film as originally released in theaters:

• Upon learning that the Muppets need to raise money to save the theater, Gonzo agrees to help, only to realise that all his money was in the building he had just blown up.

• A flashback to the wedding scene from The Muppets Take Manhattan, followed by a scene taking place a few weeks later, in which Kermit realises that the minister in the movie was a real minister as opposed to an actor playing the part, to which Kermit and Miss Piggy have an argument, leading to their break-up.

• After Walter does his whistling act, Statler thinks the act is worth the last dollar needed to save the theater, only for it to fly out the window.

• Unlike in the movie, in the book the Muppets never get to keep the theater (though they do get to keep their names).
