Best Children’s Book Movie Adaptations, Ranked

As George R.R. Martin once said, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.” This quote is as true as it gets: a great book is able to take the reader on a journey into a different world, introducing fascinating characters with whom the reader becomes attached, and even arousing all kinds of emotions. Books are sources of reflection, knowledge and entertainment — everybody loves a good story. All of this is enhanced during childhood, as children look up to storybook characters as their role models, mimicking their adventures and re-reading their stories over and over again. In fact, the books we read in our childhood are, as outlined by Wired, largely responsible for making us who we are today.
