Mary Shepard

An extraordinary English nanny blows in on the East Wind with her parrot-headed umbrella and magic carpetbag and introduces her charges, Jane and Michael, to some delightful people and experiences.

Mary Poppins returns, falling from the sky like a shooting star. Soon Mary and the kids are 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 part of an average day out with the world?s most beloved nanny.

Get a unique glimpse at the famous Poppins cast as the spit-spot English nanny and the Banks children take over the kitchen for a week. With the help of familiar visitors like the Bird Woman, Admiral Boom, and Mr. and Mrs. Turvy, Mary Poppins teaches her irrepressible young charges the basics of cooking, from A to Z. And young readers can re-create the week's menus by following the thirty different recipes. Kitchen adventures were never so much fun!...
