What We're Reading - Fall 2013


Our Family Read-Aloud:  Mary Poppins Comes Back by P. L. Travers.  
We are thoroughly enjoying the magic and whimsy of Mary Poppins in this sequel to the classic.  I found the library edition on Amazon last spring for an amazing price.  It was a birthday gift for Scout after we saw Mary Poppins on Broadway and we are just getting around to reading it.  The book is packed with very long chapters but every page is filled with colorful characters and delicious magical surprises at every turn.
