Books vs. movies?! How dare you! Books are the most intimate form of popular storytelling and come in so many different forms: picture books, chapter books, novels, graphic novels, e-books, etc. Movies are the most immersive form storytelling and can bring together virtually all the methods of creative expression: writing, acting, cinematography, music, animation, fashion, set design, makeup, dance, etc.
