Oh! The Whipping Boy could be an awesome movie, if they followed the story. And my children and I love Caps for Sale.

I know there are already a lot of Peter Pan movies out there, but Peter and the Starcatchers could be a great movie.

I'd love to see a movie of "The Graveyard Book." Imagine the possibilities…hurry up, Hollywood!

"Hats for Sale"–who wouldn't pay to see a movie about hat-stealing monkeys?

HYB, Did you see the 1970 version of The Phantom Tollbooth? Had great music, and was mostly animated, with a live-action framing device. I still sing the Doldrums song some times, lol.

Well, since Where the Wild Things Are just got movified, I guess my next vote would be The Whipping Boy, or The Island of the Blue Dolphins. Loved historical/period books when I was a kid!

My vote… Phantom Tollbooth, loved the book, not to keen on the art work, (sorry, Jules).

Like it so much I did my own illustrations. Here's my Mathemagician,
