A fun read filled with lots of silliness.
This is the first Mary Poppins book I have read.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. There is not so much in the form of traditional plot, more of a rolling story, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Some magic, some silliness, and lots of nonsensical talk.
Creative and imaginative work.

Two more wonderful adventures with my favourite Nanny and the Banks children ☺️ The first involves a ‘supper’ picnic in the Park with a host of celestial guests and the second involves a little lost boy and the Man in the Moon!
As always, Travers’ inimitable imagination and narrative skills warm my heart! This is why she’s a fantastic children’s author - so many invaluable lessons woven neatly into a whimsical, lighthearted narrative! I’m so glad to have finally read the entire Mary Poppins series and although I adore Julie Andrews, the books have added a rich context for the movie! Now, all that remains, is to find editions that have the full page original illustrations by Mary Shepard for my library ☺️

Another hilarious and whimsical story in the Mary Poppins series! I love the clever dialogue and imaginative plot. Mary Poppins is perfection, and when magical things begin to happen, she always keeps an elegant and calm disposition.
I was surprised to find some of this story told from the Park Keeper’s perspective. He’s such a funny old character, but he and Mary Poppins never get along.
He criticizes Mary Poppins for taking the children into the Park for a late picnic on Midsummer Nights Eve, and gets dragged into one of their magical adventures with the Banks children.
A lovely book and a fun one to read in the summer!

I have to admit that I was a bit distracted when I read this book. It's an easy read and I made the unfortunate mistake of starting with book 5 in the series. (That's what I get for not organizing the books on my to-read pile.) This particular book does not include any of Mary Poppins' escapades that made their way into the movie of which I am much more familiar. That being said, this is a short, cute little book. I don't really feel qualified enough to review it further.
