Film & television books for kids is as varied as personalities of children. As a young girl, I would often look at the television and watch attentively to stories or whatever was playing. This is the time of no remote controls, hardly any flat screens and one fitting in your pocket was an unheard of thing. I would recreate all the good parts of my favourite shows and even movies were not spared from my daydreams. One day I would be Supergirl, other times I’d be a vampire slayer or if my older cousin wanted to play, I become the vampire/witch.
When school started, there I heard of plays and sets and production and all the trappings that were part of a continuing love for film and television. This is the time of gradual introduction to kiddie theatre workshops, excursions and performing arts youth programs.
