Mary Poppins (Marry Poppins #1) by P.L. Travers

4/14/2015
Picture
Summary
One day shortly after the most recent nanny left the Banks family, Mary Poppins arrives, blown in by the east wind.  She takes on the task of becoming the nanny of Jane, Michael, and the twins, John and Barbara.  Mary Poppins has all sorts of magical tricks up her sleeve, including sliding up banisters, pulling items out of a so-called empty carpet bag, and floating in the air for tea time, all of which are adventurous times for the Banks children.

Review
Written by Pamela Lyndon Travers (P.L. Travers), this author, actress, and journalist, is best known for her Mary Poppins series of eight books, which she began writing in 1924. Children will love this fun story of the Banks children.  Full of magic and adventure, this Mary Poppins novel will capture the attention of all readers.  It would also be a fun read-a-loud in an elementary school classroom or as part of a child’s read aloud time to a parent.
