A few months ago the movie Rise of the Guardians came out. My boys really wanted to go see it but I wasn’t so sure about it. Recently my son was given The Fantastic Flying Books of Morris Lessmore as a gift and we loved the book. After doing some research I learned that the author of the Fantastic Flying Books, William Joyce, was also the author of the books that inspired the movie Rise of the Guardians.
I’m always on the lookout for great stories to read with my boys. We had just finished all the Narnia books and I was trying to decide on the next series for us. I decided on the Guardians of Childhood books and we have enjoyed every single page of the books. I also found out that Mr. Joyce is the author behind some other really fun children’s books. Here’s a list of some of our favorites so far.
The Guardians of Childhood Series:
The Sandman: The Story of Sanderson Mansnoozie
