I remember some of the books my sister had when she was little (she’s 10 years younger than me), and some of them didn’t have any words. There was one that had pictures of farm animals, and I recall another that had pictures of all kinds of things that were supposed to teach kids about colors. Here’s a list of some wordless books:
If you have to go to the restroom, you miss part of the movie; you can leave a book and come back to it. (Unless you have rented or borrowed the movie, in which case . . .)
Another thing to consider is that you can make your own pictures when you read a book, but the movies expose you to other pictures from people with more world experience than you have. My grandkids all enjoyed the Harry Potter books, but the movies frightened them.
I remember a book I had finished reading, that same movie was on DVD which we checked out, the movie did closely resemble the movie, except for a few minor details, which I noticed right away.

A book without words? An IKEA assembly manual?

One of the main problems is that the movies don’t necessarily follow the book…

I knew a guy in the sixth grade who gave a book report on a movie he had seen on TV the night before. I know because I had watched it myself.

The books are usually better, anyway.

Harry Potter had film that could record you and your friends waving to the camera. Maybe Joe will get his Hogwarts letter this week.

It’s cool to read a book after the movie to see what was more to the story
