This bolok was not as enjoyable for me as i had hoped… Whenever i got it on ebook at the library i was truly excited to read but as i opened and read the first chapter i knew that i was going to have a problem. This book was not a book instead it was a lullaby considering it nearly put me to sleep at least once every chapter. I rate Mary Poppins with three stars after careful consideration i thought about the rateing as i was going to my grandmothers and as i was bakeing a cake… *Warning: Don't ever bake and think because i nearly put three cups of sugar in my cake and grandmother had to remind Julie Andrews, who played the character in the 1964 film adaptation, received an Academy Award for Best Actress. British film magazine Empire included Poppins (as played by Andrews) in their 2011 list of 100 greatest movie characters. [3] Acclaimed for her performance as Poppins in the 2018 sequel, Emily Blunt received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. [4] In the 2004 musical adaptation in the West End, Laura Michelle Kelly received the Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as Poppins.

I found this book dark sometimes because i personaly think that whenever Mary Poppins gets cross then she gets scary. I did not like her attitiude and i did not like her personally. She was no swet and beautiful Julie Andrews peoples in fact she was called ugly multiple times… Yes the movie version of Mary Poppins was firm but as she clearly stated she never became cross... P.L. Travers version became extremly cross as i have already mentioned multiple times.

The Red Cow: A self-described 'model cow' whom Mary Poppins remembers as a good friend of her mother. A fallen star once became caught on her horn, causing her to dance uncontrollably until in desperation she jumped over the moon. Unexpectedly, she finds she misses the happy feeling that dancing gave her, and on the advice of Mary Poppins's mother, she decides to search for another star. In Mary Poppins, Michael sees the Red Cow walking down Cherry Tree Lane in search of a star, leading Mary Poppins to tell her story to the children. The 1934 publication of Mary Poppins was Travers' first literary success.Five sequels followed, as well as a collection of other novels, poetry collections and works of non-fiction. Afterward, Mr. Banks becomes annoyed by the household's cheery atmosphere and threatens to fire Mary Poppins, but she persuades him to take the children to his workplace the next day. That evening, Mary sings to the children a hymn-like lullaby [11] about the woman who sits on the steps of the St. Paul's Cathedral selling bird food (" Feed the Birds"). The newly constructed Walt Disney World Monorail System benefited from the film because of the profits the movie generated. Some profits from this movie were taken to help fund the Disney World Monorail system. Disney's monorail system pays homage to this film by naming the MAPO (MAry POppins) safety system included on all Disney monorails. Also, all Walt Disney World Railroad steam locomotives are fitted with a boiler safety device marked "MAPO".My favorite chapter in this book, however, is the bittersweet story of the twin babies John and Barbara, who delight in talking to the wind and the birds who visit them in their nursery. When they learn that one day they will no longer understand the language of their dearest friends, they weep piteously and are determined that they will never forget and they will never be changed. Not long afterwards, the jeering Starling comes to visit and wheedles a bit of treat from them, but they don't respond.
