I LOVE reading books before watching the movie. I remember my 3rd grade teacher reading Mr. Poppers Penguins to our class. That was soooo long time ago. lol. I actually haven’t seen a lot of these movies! I think I’ll have to reread some of these books again! An interesting book to compare to the movie is Mary Poppins! Very different!

Believe it or not, I’ve actually only read a couple of these books. Good ideas for when my daughters are a little bit older, though!

In reply to Tara. Sounds like an awesome plan! You're welcome! Any other types of lists you're interested in, let me know!

I am always on the lookout for new summer reading material. This looks like a great list and then my kids can be rewarded with a movie after we have finished reading the book. Thank you so much for the suggestions!

My daughter has read all of these but has not watched any of the movies.

Always good to start with the book I think! I love the whole Narnia series. The movies are good too. They never completed the series though. I love the Harry Potter series too.

Oh these are all great ideas! We actually read Harry Potter and then watched the movies just to help them understand how you read and picture the story in your own head. Interesting to hear what they think vs. what the movie portrays (and what they liked better!)

I love reading the books before I watch the movie. Sometimes the book is much better.

I always had my kids read the book before watching the movie and generally, they loved the book more! I love these titles and didn’t realize there were movie versions of some of them.
