Books into Movies


Thank you to all the people who e-mailed suggestions for this bibliography.  A
special thank you to Cecile Saretsky who sent me lists and suggested
bibliographies via snail mail!  I asked for help from LM_Net when a teacher
requested a bibliography of books that had been made into movies.  That was in
April.  I have finally coordinated all of the responses.  You will find a list
of bibliographies and the list of books we used with our sophomores.
