I received some promotional materials for an upcoming movie that will be on Netflix this coming Wednesday. In the materials I received I learned all about the production of the movie and the great care that was taken to make it look very distinct. I’m also looking forward to seeing Ricky Gervais as a cat. He is so talented and funny so I know I’ll be laughing through this movie.
The movie is based on a book by Lois Lowry who wrote such books as The Giver. She has also writing many children’s books. The Willoughbys is about four children who are convinced that they’d be better off raising themselves. The Willoughby children hatch a sneaky plan to send their selfish parents on vacation. The siblings then embark on their own high-flying adventure to find the true meaning of family.
I have some special activity sheets that you can download and print off to play at home. Tings like matches drawing, crosswords and hidden words puzzles. Click the links below to download.
