It would need a lot more development of action and plot.

Agreed. I liked the book for what it was, but to make a television show out of it, there'd need to be considerable character development and world-building.BeatrixPotter wrote: ↑29 Sep 2018, 14:15 Hmm, I'm not sure how a show could be made out of the story as it is.

But only then. It would not work if the story is lost.

I think that there's a real danger of the story - such as it is - being lost anyway. For a TV show on this to work, it would necessitate a huge expansion on the existing source material. And that would likely compromise what this book was trying to accomplish.PoisonWhiteRose wrote: ↑10 Oct 2018, 12:28 The book may be fine, but making a tv show or movie out something that is already established often times means that the thing already established will become lost in the transition. If the producers and writers could maintain the original storyline, merely embellished with some other things that children like, it would make a great tv show.
But only then. It would not work if the story is lost.
That sounds dismissive of the book, and it's not meant that way as I really liked the book. I think it's an excellent primer for first readers to expand vocabulary, and Toni is an excellent role model. But for the purposes of a television series, the source material as it stands is too sparse.
