Mary Poppins and the House Next Door by P.L. Travers
3.0
Mary Poppins books follow the same structure pretty much. Unruly children, Mary Poppins arrives unannounced in a strange way and every one tries to behave while she takes them on strange adventures. This story stays closer to home more as the empty house next door is under threat of a new resident. Miss Andrew makes a return with an addition of a small boy and a lot of the focus is around this. It is a sweet story with the children and their new neighbour as they try to play together without the strict Miss Andrew finding out.
This was one of the stories I like most but I think it was only for the end scene regarding the Man in the Moon. Admittedly it was lacking a little what the other books had, but it was still enjoyable. There were less adventures but you focused on the house which in itself was rather sweet at times.
