Books to Movies |
I'm always excited when a good children's book is made into a movie. I recommend that If you see the movie, read the book. |
Want to know what children's books have been made into movies since 1914? This list might not be totally correct or up-to-date but it will give you an idea of what's out there. If you see an error or know of a title that should be on the list, let me know. |
Here are some books I know kids have liked either made into movies recently or on the schedule to be released. Some have great websites and you can connect to those from here. |
