David says:
I gave this story five stars because I liked that in the end everybody is happy and the father really cares about his son.
I like that Mary found the key and the robin showed her the way. I also liked how Mary went from being grouchy to happy and became friends with Martha. My favorite character was the robin cause she was really cute and she was the first “person” to befriend Mary.
I liked that all the animals like Dickon and that he’s nice to everybody. I liked that Colin taught Magic to everyone and that they did exercises each day. I liked that Dickon’s mom gave them extra food so they could make sure the nurse didn’t know Colin was getting better and could surprise his dad. I like how the three kids became such good friends and worked and played in the garden every day together.
Reading a book a week with my six-year-old son David is a weekly project for 2011. You can read more about it here.
This was one of my David’s favorites books. I think he read it three times. It is an amazing story. If you decide to see the film, be prepared…it isn’t quite the same but it is very good!
