Books not movies!

Today I read a post from Michael that warned me that books are better than movies. He is right. I found out last year when I saw the movie "The tale of Despereaux". My dad had read this story to me first, than I read it for myself and then we went to see the movie. It went down hill. I mean, "soup day" where did they get that? The queen loved soup, she ate it everyday, not just on soup day. There is NO soup day. Why did they do that? Then there was a "tin man" who was not even in the book. The movie was also not very scary. It should have been. My sister didn't want to go because the book scared her, but the movie wasn't scary at all! Michael is right about books being better than movies! They almost always are. Except, I really enjoyed Prince Caspian the movie, a little more than the book. My dad read the book to me. Maybe I will like it more when I read the book myself. I do think the Bible is the best book of all. Usually the movies about the Bible are not as great.

I finished "Betsy-Tacy" in one day. I think it was "fabulouso" because it was the beginning of "friendship for a lifetime". That's the kind of book that some girls like, and I am one of them. You should know that this story took place before automobiles were common. My mom is trying to find more of the "Betsy'Tacy" books. If you happen to have any would you mind letting me borrow them? I will try to give them back when I finish.

Today I am back to the myths. I am starting the "Sirens and Sea Monsters" by Mary Pope Osbourne. It is book three of a series of 6 books. I have already read "The One Eyed Monster" and "The Land of the Dead". It was published by Disney. Why Disney for goodness sake? Disney's books aren't usually all that great, they are usually about princesses, frogs, and have poor writing. By the way, I saw "The Princess and the Frog" yesterday. You don't want to see it if you don't like Voodoo. It was weird!

Now, back to my book!
