P. L Travers

Mary Poppins comes back on the end of a kite string, stays with the Banks family for a while, and then disappears on a merry-go-round horse.

Who else but Mary Poppins can lead the Banks children--Jane, Michael, and the twins--on such extraordinary adventures? Together they all meet the Goosegirl and the Swineherd, argue with talking cats on a distant planet, make the acquaintance of the folks who live under the dandelions, and celebrate a birthday by dancing with their own shadow.

By P.L. Travers, the author featured in the major motion picture, Saving Mr. Banks. Who can slide up banisters, banish naughtiness with a swift "Spit-spot," and turn a make-believe sidewalk drawing into a lovely day in the park? Mary Poppins, of course! This omnibus edition combines the two Mary Poppins classics, Mary Poppins and Mary Poppins Comes Back, that inspired both the 1964 movie and the Broadway musical. With the original, iconic illustrations...

Get a unique glimpse at the famous Poppins cast as the spit-spot English nanny and the Banks children take over the kitchen for a week. With the help of familiar visitors like the Bird Woman, Admiral Boom, and Mr. and Mrs. Turvy, Mary Poppins teaches her irrepressible young charges the basics of cooking, from A to Z. And young readers can re-create the week's menus by following the thirty different recipes. Kitchen adventures were never so much fun!...

A picture book adaptation of the tale of the English nanny Mary Poppins, who enters the lives of the Banks family and upends its usual routines.

Two banker's children lose their nanny due to her frustration with them. A change in the wind blows in a magical nanny who matches the qualifications of the children, but not the very proper father. As she helps the children magically explore the world around them, the father grows increasingly disapproving of her methods, and he must eventually deal with his own distance from his children.
