Disappointing

Kids loved the movie and I thought that the script had then been re-worked into a proper narrative story. But we started listening and it is more about the movie, how it was made etc. Not a true audio book at all.

Love this

I absolutely love this audiobook. It's full of humour and great behind the scenes stories. Emma Thompson has a brilliant voice for narration. If you loved the movie, you will adore the audiobook. I wiah there was one for this first movie.

A hybrid book!

Once I got used to the writer's format I relaxed and enjoyed the book!
This book ping-pongs back and forth between the actual Nanny McPhee story and Emma Thompson's diary of what happens on the film stage, giving us an interesting peep behind the scenes!
The only thing that didn't quite sit well for me (I blame it on being an English tutor) is that Emma simply explains who has what role in the filming family but then uses non-child-friendly complicated words which would have been difficult to understand seeing that (I'm guessing) that the target audience would be the younger end of the generations!

Very Enjoyable

I bought this to listen with my children but listened alone first.

I love Emma Thompson and I really enjoyed this audiobook, which is a mix between the story and what happens on set, which my family will find very interesting. The story stops after the parts which might be a bit emotionally difficult, which will help my children and Emma Thompson balances humour and emotional depth very sensitivily. I will be listening again with my children.

Delightful children’s story for adults too!

Emma Thomson follows successfully in her father’s ( Magic Roundabout) footsteps , with this delightful children’s story, that adults will also enjoy, with the characters’ vivid dialogue and authentic voices. She intersperses the story with her diary of making the film, which is almost as hilarious as the story itself. Altogether a joy!
