What should I do if I have to write a book report on The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe?
Well, I think that if you have been assigned a book report on The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. you should (a) read the book and (b) write the report.
This book would be an excellent one for a report since it starts the Chronicles of Narnia series and has been a best-seller ever since it was published. The movie is good preparation for a report, but be aware that there are some differences in the story line from the movie to the book, so making a report based on the movie might be dangerous.
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe does not start the Narnia series. The first Book is actually called The Magician's Nephew. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is book two in the series.
