A Good but not Great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mary Poppins Opens the Door (Paperback)
This book is an exciting book, but you have to get into it before it becomes exciting. The book is very long and the chapers are about 25 pages each. This book should be for good readers (in 5th grade). P.L. Travers made a very good book though. Mary Poppins will always be my favorite character.

She's Baaack,
By Jeanne Tassotto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mary Poppins Opens the Door (Hardcover)
This is the third book in the delightful Mary Poppins series. As the story opens it is Guy Fawkes Day and the Banks children are hoping to be able to celebrate in style but unfortunately their father is in a foul mood and their mother is struggling to manage the household. Nothing has gone right in the Banks house in a long time....not since Mary Poppins left. While at the park though she returns, floating down from the sky and suddenly Father is happier, Mother is able to manage the house and the children discover that they are having fun again as they, and their reader, gone on a series of magical adventures over the next few weeks.The reader of this series is transportated by these stories in more ways than one, besides the imaginative stories themselves the forward to this one with it's references to the British holiday of Guy Fawkes Day and it's wartime nonobservance make it clear from the beginning that these stories are about another place and time. The reading level of this volume is listed as 5th grade with an interest level from 8 to 12. Today schools typically assign much more sophisticated stories to 5th graders and Mary Poppins would definitely not be on the reading lists for the middle school set (11 and 12 year olds). More is the pity since this nonthreatening, lighthearted story is just the thing to convince a child that reading can be FUN! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

funny and exciting,
By Melissa Sack - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mary Poppins Opens the Door (Hardcover)
This is the third book in the Mary Poppins series. It's about all the adventures that the Banks children have with their nanny. In one adventure they go to the park and see a lady selling peppermint stick horses. They buy some and ride off into the sky! You never know what type of adventure Mary Poppins has in store for the kids!

Don't buy Kindle edition,
By Ichigo - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mary Poppins Opens the Door (Hardcover)
This is a review for a kindle edition. I purchased all the Mary Poppins books.The book itself is great classic and fun to read. But the kindle edition has so many typos. Amazon's Kindle edition has 2-3 typos every 5 to 10 pages!! They misspell character's names, actions and everything! Sometimes, the sentence makes no sense because it has couple typos in one sentence! I want my money back. I will list up some typos when my kindle is charged! (It says the kindle needs more than 30 mins to finish getting charged.) But, Ok, here. I have one that I wrote down on my note. "joking'11 only makes things worse." Location 625. What is Joking'eleven?? I googled. No answer! Just like that...there are so many typos. |
