Kathy Algieri said...The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum is my favorite book that was turned into a movie....but being 48, I definitely saw the movie first....and enjoyed the novel later in life! As a teacher, one of my favorite things to do is read a novel with my class, then show them the movie, if available, and compare and contrast the two. If they were asked the same question, I bet their response would be The Indian in the Cupboard!

Julia said...My favorite book that was turned into a movie would have to be "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks because he is an incredible writer and the movie was as good as the book.
