Best books for children to read
Meet characters you never see in the movie...
Enjoy new adventures too!
Plus, there is a whole set of stories to love!
Are you looking for books to read to children? The Books of Wonder series are among the best books for children. These are great books for reluctant readers and great books for boys and girls to enjoy.
I first read this series to my son (who is now 10) a few years ago but he is still enthusiastic enough about the stories to pick them up on his own. He loves giving the set as presents to other young readers in our family so they too can share in the magic and wonder.

I would say both, but because you put here only two options, I choose the book :)

I have never read the book, for some reason never thought about it, but well, perhaps its time!

The movie is great, but the book is much better. If you've only seen the movie you're really missing out.

The movie

I read the book when I was young, but I love the movie more I think. Lots of family memories watching that movie.

- I knew there was a book, but I've never read it - now I really, really must get a copy. My eldest daughter is obsessed with The Wizard of Oz and I'm sure she'd love it.
