With a boom and a burst of fireworks, Mary Poppins returns, falling from the sky like a shooting star. She arrives not a moment too late: The Banks home is a complete shambles-five wild children without a nanny are five children too many! But Mary Poppins swiftly takes the Banks children in hand, and along with her squawking parrot-headed umbrella, they set off on a new round of marvelous adventures. A visit to Mr. Twigley's music-box filled attic, an encounter with the Marble Boy, a ride on Miss Calico's enchanted candy canes-all of this and more are just part of a typical day out when the world's most beloved nanny is in charge. Original illustrations by Mary Shepard and Agnes Sims.
