FILMCLUB Recommends…Books to films and back again! Some of the greatest stories in celebrated children’s books have been made into films. Directors have adapted novels into movies and have not only brought the text to life through moving images but have also made the stories more accessible to reluctant readers. This encourages viewers to spark discussion about the director’s adaptation of the book into a film and inspire them to read the original text for themselves.
