The first Mary Poppins but not the one I love.

Just a bucket list book for me, but I wasn't really a fan.

It’s very strange to see a character that’s magical without any whimsy. I’m not sure if this book is meant for adults or kids or people in between. It’s a fascinating read but I’m not sure I understand the point

Just a classic that I had to re-visit after seeing the stage show. The stage musical is so much more true to the book that the film is, but I still love every adaptation going !

Great story, some similarities to the movie, enjoyable for an adult
fast-paced

This was somewhat different from the movie, especially the family descriptions. Overall it was fine, but I feel the movie did a much better job at enriching the world, but also the characters.
