About this title: Things happen to the Banks children when they go to the park with Mary Poppins. Strange things, funny things, unexpected things: nothing is ever straightforward with Mary Poppins about -- and it's never boring either! Mary Poppins, neat and prim in her blue skirt and a new hat trimmed with a crimson tulip, looked at them over her knitting. She was sitting bolt upright against the tree, with a plaid rug spread on the lawn around her. Her handbag sat tidily by her side. And above her, from a flowering branch, the parrot umbrella dangled. She gave a little sniff. The stories in this collection ...

"The movie not being one i liked particularilly I was reluctant to read the series of Mary Poppins, but they were a great deal more enjoyable. With the nanny herself being a lot more realistic than portrayed in the film. The children embark on a series of adventures that more often than not don't actually include the formiddable Mary Poppins. The magical trips are short and sweet with a simple message or lesson in them...even some of the clichéd ones, such as " be careful what you wish for", not that I'm sure why you wish for such a nanny...and did you know Jane and Michael have 3 younger siblings?! I would recommend it if you have nothing better to do before going to sleep, plus your head will be filled with dreams of talking animals, dancing stars and evil cats trapping you on a far away planet asking riddles..."
"Not quite a charming as the first and third books, but better than the second. The last pages wrap up the series quickly but leave the reader satisfied that the kids will have happy childhood memories forever, regardless of the fact Mary will soon leave them."
