“Feed the birds. Tuppence a bag. ...” We spent a mixture of time in the Sophie Thompson Audible and reading the text in our Kindle eBook. While it was a revisit for my oldest (11), it was a new adventure specifically for my Princess (9), and the others were able to listen in (6, 3, and 1). My youth only had the Disney film as far as I remember it and I am an avid fan of Julie Andrews. I see the connections to the book and even more so to the newer film Mary Poppins Returns, although I have yet to see Saving Mr. Banks. Mary Poppins is a very harsh character but so is life... It is a bit magical, fantastic, and page turning. Barbara and John are absolutely necessary characters and the movie misses them completely.

We own vintage hardcovers with European spines, Kindle eBooks, and Audible (+) for listening. This was a Memoria Press Classical Core Curriculum Third Grade and Simply Classical 5/6.
