Oh how lovely to have a homework assignment that he is keen to complete. Let’s hope there are more that generate such enthusiasm! I love the fact that this is ‘his area of expertise’!

As someone has already said, how lovely that he is happy to do this assignment. He does make me chuckle, which is much needed in these strange times.

I love it – we all need an area of expertise!! ๐
We just watched the American Girl Molly movie & it was set during the war. They showed some original war film footage (when the characters were at the movies) and played a portion of the Queen’s first address (before she was queen, of course) during the show. The main character played Miss Victory in a school production. It was such a great show.
I found it interesting because the Queen had just mentioned that address in her video last month.

I’ll have a look for that film, it’s not one I know … is it suitable for The Boy Child?

Yes, it’s suitable for the boy child, as are all the American Girl movies, very family friendly. I think he would enjoy the Kit Kittredge the best as it has several young boy characters and a magician and a librarian, set during the Great Depression. Several of these are on Amazon Prime for a very low rental fee.
