The C.S. Lewis classic has finally been made into a movie soon to be released in theatres. Pick up copies and give to your child to read before they see the movie. If your child is not old enough to read chapter books, read a few chapters a night. Even 4 & 6 year olds can appreciate stories without always having a visual picture.
