My mother purchased this set for me when she saw Mary Poppins on Broadway. As a child I never read any of the books but adored the movie. I will review each book separately but do feel this is a set that any child ages 8-100 would enjoy.
I have already read most of the first book and look forward to reading it to my children at bedtime and then passing the books on to them when they are old enough to enjoy them, themselves. Nicely illustrated and perfect short stories for you and y...more

I have always loved the film of Mary Poppin's and it was a big part of my childhood, so I thought it would be about time I read it and I'm not afraid to say that I thought it was delightful! At the age of 20, reading children's books can become less magical but all of these stories were a pleasure to read and wonderfully written. I'd encourage anyone, of any age, to read it.
I wasn't as entertained by this as I thought I would be since I watched the film obsessively as a child. I imagine I would've enjoyed it more had I read the book in my youth.
I got these books for my 11th birthday and read them all the next year, and also "Mary Poppins in the Park," which isn't in the boxed set in the picture (but I didn't want to have to write about each book separately).
The main things I remember about the book that are different from the Disney movie:
1. Mary Poppins isn't quite as pretty and nice as Julie Andrews (but she's still awesome)
2. There's a younger sibling who can talk with Mary Poppins until its first b...more

Choose any one of these, or any other in the series. But make an effort to get to know the REAL Mary Poppins, she's definitely not a Julie Andrews.
These are so creative. I love the Mary Poppins character (she's a little tougher in the books than she is in the movie).
So much better than the sugar coated Disney movie! (even though I loved the movie, too!)
The movie did NOT do the books justice. (Sorry, Julie Andrews! Love you, anyway!)
My mother found these classics in a used bookstore. Love those Brits!
quite enchanting, but a very different feel from the film.
My favorite part is the story of the Pleides.
