Pretty much the perfect movie guide for kids, 101 MOVIES TO SEE BEFORE YOU GROW UP presents some wonderful films suitable for kids, and crucially never taloks down to them whilst doing so.

The best way to build intelligent, free thinking adults is to treat them as though their opinions are valid from an early age, and Suzette Valle has done a great job here, presenting a precis of each film, explaining WHY it was famous, and giving kids (and their grown-ups) some trivia along the way.

Apart from being a great guide as to what is suitable for your mini-me, 101 MOVIES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE also encourages kids to rate each film themselves and add a few notes if they wish. Building articulate movie reviewers of the future!

Best of all, of course, is that you now have every excuse to watch some of the best movies of all time with your young’uns. Star Wars, The Parent Trap, Back To The Future, Wizard Of Oz, The Muppet Movie, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Batman, The Incredibles, Ghostbusters, The Sound Of Music, Field Of Dreams, School Of Rock, The Lord Of The Rings, Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Goonies, and our personal favourite, The Princess Bride, are all here, along with many more, making this book a gateway to a treasure trove of memories and adventures for any child to share with you.
