I’m a compensated member of the Netflix Stream Team.
We love the library, and my children are obsessed with reading. So much so, it’s a struggle to get them up and going OUT to play because they’re so engrossed with their books (ahem, Super M). That’s why it excites me to see so many children’s books made into movies and brought to Netflix. Whether we’re on the go or in for some good old fashioned snuggling on the couch at home, Netflix has an array of movies that help us watch our favorite storybook pages come to life, anytime, anywhere.
The holidays are on their way! Why not sit by the fire and watch some holiday-themed storybooks with your kids?
Whether you choose to read the book first and then watch the movie, or watch the movie first and then dive head first into the book, movies and shows like this bring storybook pages to life, and not just for the kids. I used to dream of opening up a babysitting business like Kristy and Claudia did from The Babysitters Club. I also envisioned I had magical powers like Tia and Tony from Escape to Witch Mountain. A new favorite that hit the screens, The Hunger Games, is also out on Netflix, too!
You can further inspire your children’s love of reading by creating a fun craft or recipe surrounding their favorite books. Check these out!

What were your favorite books and characters as a child?
Hi, I’m Lisa! Welcome to my perfectly imperfect corner of the web where I've chronicled my life as a mom to "eleventy-billion" kids since 2007! Here I share posts with our family-friendly recipes, crafts and creating art, traveling as a big family, reliving my youth endlessly dancing to 90's music, and documenting our adventurous life while sipping coffee and basking in the delicious Colorado sunshine.
