The Borrowers

The Secret World of Arrietty comes out at the movie theater tomorrow.  In case you haven't heard about it, it is based on the classic book by Mary Norton called "The Borrowers". 
If you have never read this book to your children, now is the time to dive on in!  It is a cute tale about a family of "borrowers" that live in a "borrowed" house and "borrow" things from the regular-sized house occupants.  If you have ever wondered why you can not find the missing match to a sock or something else that you know you laid right where you could get to it... This may explain it all!!

There is actually a whole series of "The Borrowers" books.  We are planning to read them all, but so far we have read the first one pictured above.  The girls loved the story!

Now, we will be headed to the movie theater to see the story on the big screen!  I can't wait!!  Stay tuned for our feedback after the show!
