Summer Book and Movie Club: Ramona and Beezus, Beezus and Ramona

This is our second summer doing the Family Book and Movie Club, and I am really enjoying the groove we seem to have found with the books this year.  And yesterday was extra special because it was our first time to watch the movie at the theater!

As individual families, we read Beezus and Ramona by Beverly Cleary.  Then we hit the local theater as a group to watch the new movie Ramona and Beezus.  After the show, we headed over to the house to discuss our impressions.

Well, the verdict is in: we all loved the movie!  The kids couldn't stop listing favorite scenes, and could relate so well to the characters. 

The last task at Book and Movie Discussion is always the Vote.  Did you like the movie better, or did the book win out?  Most often, the book is a shoo-in.  But this time, the movie won!

Friends, Movies, Talk Time...It was a wonderful day!
