“When Mary Poppins is about, her young charges can never tell where the real world merges into make-believe. Neither can the reader, and that is one of the hallmarks of good fantasy.” —The New York Times

“Such a cute book it just goes over the Mary poppins movie so there isn’t nothing that new in the book. I thought the characters were really well written and I liked most of the characters but the small boy Michael I don’t like in the book or movies as he is really annoying. I am glad I read it but I won’t be reading anymore of this series xxx”
