I took my kids, Corina, Antonia and Armando, as well as their friends out to see the Spiderwick Chronicles movie this afternoon. I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. To finally see Tony and Holly’s story on the big screen was unreal. All the kids loved the movie. My kids read all the books multiple times, so Corina was quick to point out what things were missing or different from the book. But then she realizes such is the case with every book to movie adaptation. The kids want me to say the movie was COOL!

I’m sure the kids will be drawing goblins for a while. I’ll make sure to share some of those drawings. Maybe I’ll even try drawing a few

If you haven’t gone to see the movie, make sure you do. You won’t be disappointed. And ofcourse, pick up the books if you haven’t done so.

I’m crossing my fingers that there will be a sequel. This first movie only scratched the surface of a rich world created by Tony and Holly.
