That's interesting! I'm just curious because I've discovered so many things by watching something, then reading the book afterwards. I think it's a great way to discover something new.
For example, I didn't read Handmaid's Tale until after the show. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it or not, but I love the show, so I went ahead and read the book.
I think it's a good way to explore something you're not comfortable with without diving too far in.
My daughter is only 15 months old, so I haven't come across this kind of issue yet, but I've already started considering how to approach these things.

> We have a rule that if movies are based off a book, the book has to be read first.
Why do you feel that is necessary? Just curious as to your reasoning.

That's absolutely fair! I was just curious as to your reasoning, because honestly, I've never heard that rule before.
You're right, whatever gets someone reading is the winner, in my opinion, be it movie first, or book first!
