Read the book....See the movie!
Some great children's books have been made into movies that will be showing in cinemas this year. Why not get in early and read the book before you see the movie.. it's just better that way!
The dates are a rough timeline of when you can expect to see the movies. YA means that the books are found in the teens' section of the library.
