After all, the book is almost always better than the movie! :)</p> <p>I offered this to my stepkids while they are visiting us for a month: Let's all read Hunger Games together and then we can watch the movie! SD says "I'm not interested." Ouch! I guess if I start young with my LO it might work ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-let-your-kids-see-the-movie-before-they-read-the-book#post-923391 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:12:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 923391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll probably have this rule.

If my mom knew a kid or young adult book was being made into a movie, we would both read it and then see the movie when it came out and compare them. The books were always better! I actually enjoyed having that rule and think I will do it with my kids. Did you have this rule? Will you with your kids? </p>
