Cute book!

I can see why they left a lot out of the movie. Julie Andrews encompasses Mary ever so well--she is very true to the character in the book.

Mary captures your heart and makes you wish that maybe you had a nanny like her, too. The chalk drawing chapter in this book is my favourite. I came away from it smiling and sighing––it was such a lovely image.

Seemed somewhat 'long' in parts, but overall it was great.
