WHOA WHOA WHOA! That ROCKS! OMG that could be very, very cool. I'm reading another childhood favourite right now that I think would make a great film (the Haunted Mountain, by Mollie Hunter), but it's kind of obscure, I think. But WTWTA is a PERFECT book to take to the screen. Oh, if it's done well it could be so much fun! And they get the thumbs up for Catherine O'Hara as voice talent. Among other things. WHOO HOO!

Next time you're at the library, take a wander into the chlldren's section. It will take you less than five minutes to read it - it's a book for very young children. Basically, Max is a rather naughty boy who gets sent to bed with no supper, and goes on an amazing adventure to a land where the creatures are even wilder than he is (although he still manages to out-attitude them all). I'm not sure what it is about this book, but it's just very charming - possibly because I remember reading it when I was a child. It's funny to think of it being turned into a film, because it is literally only about 20 pages long (and some of those pages have, like, two words of text). They're going to have to fabricate a HECK of a lot to make a plot, but I'm sure someone creative could do a great job with it. The artwork is so adorable!
