What Kind of Book is Mary Poppins
Reviews
Each chapter is its own short story Some are really fun But there doesn’t seem to be an overarcing plot. The kids don’t seem to progress, nor Mary Poppons. And it’s kind of hard to see Marry Poppins’ redeeming qualities, or why the kids love her. She’s always so stern with them and others, and her kindness is usually through (playfully?) begrudged actions?
