Children’s favorite books made into movies

When I was kid, I used to love to read fairy tales and while reading I would go into my own fantasy world, imagining all kinds of things. My favorite book was ‘Jack and the Bean stalk, and I must have read that book hundred times and yet I would love it. I was never bored of reading that one.

Which story books do you like to read?

Did you know that the fairy tales have become so popular that they have started making films on those children's stories? Books that you loved to read are now made into movies. Some of the movies that you may like to see….



Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince The sixth volume of the Harry Potter series is said to be author J.K. Rowling's darkest, despite all the hormones raging on the Hogwarts campus.



The Princess and the Frog This is another movie that you might like it. In this re-imagination of the old Grimm Brothers' fairytale, we get an additional layer of something old, something new: The film marks Disney's return to hand-drawn animation and also features the animation studio's first African-American princess



Where the Wild Things Are Put on your wolf suit and get ready for the wild rumpus that is Where the Wild Things Are on film. It's kind of amazing how similar the combination live-action/CGI movie looks to the illustrations in the classic book by artist and author Maurice Sendak.



C.S. Lewis let his imagination run wild in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the special effects in the 2005 movie, starring Tilda Swinton, don't disappoint. The Chronicles of Narnia have enchanted millions of readers over the last fifty years, and the magical events described in C. S. Lewis's immortal prose have left many a lasting memory. For here is a world where a witch decrees eternal winter; where there are more talking animals than people; and where battles are fought by Centaurs, Giants, and Fauns.



Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs As the title implies, the town of Chewandswallow has weather that's a little on the yummy side—until the falling food gets so large it starts to endanger the townspeople's lives. The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Chewandswallow was plagues by damaging floods and storms of huge food. The town was a mess and the pople feared for their lives. Something had to be done, and in a hurry..

So, Will you be watching these movies??? actually, I don't mind watching it too....
