In the book the fantasy part is a very small piece of the book. I'm thinking the movie may enlarge that part a bit to get an audience in.
If the reviews are to be believed and it does stay close to the novel then I don't think you or your nieces/nephews will be disappointed in the movie at all. It's a wonderful story about friendship.
I would recommend getting the book--as it's an amazing piece of work. One of my personal favorite novels from when I was a kid.
