![]() Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Feels like a bit of a retread of the first book, with all of the same grim themes. Almost every chapter could be a one-to-one match with a chapter in the first book. If a winning children's book formula isn't broken, don't fix it. Audio version - I had no idea there are so many in the series! Since the edition of Mary Poppins that I read had this book bound with it as omnibus, I read this too. I still don't like the title character, but I like the children, the starling, the magic, the stories... so I'm glad I read it and do recommend it. Audiobook performed by Sophie Thompson From the book jacket: Pulled down from the clouds at the end of a kite string, Mary Poppins is here again to take the Banks children in hand, leading them from one head-spinning adventure to another. My reactions Oh, My! I read these books when I was about nine or ten years old. My best friend and I would share the books back and forth, spending countless hours at recess and over lunch talking about Mary Poppins, the Banks children and their fantastical adventures. There were only four books in the series at that time, and I think we read each of them three or four times. This was before the Disney movie adaptation, which we eventually saw and loved, though we recognized the differences and were a little disappointed that some of our favorite adventures were missing. I re-read the first book when my first niece was about six (she’s 19 now), thinking I might want to give her the series. I was struck by how mean and unpleasant Mary Poppins was – definitely not the lovable nanny of my memory! I had no such reaction this time, although Mary Poppins is certainly a stern taskmaster at times, not to mention vain. But I just loved the adventures she and the children had! Who would not smile at Mr Turvy, the Balloon Woman, or the trip to the Constellations?! Sophie Thompson does a marvelous job narrating the audio version. Like many children’s books, this one lends itself easily to being read aloud. Thompson has great pacing, and a gift for voices that really helps to bring these characters to life. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

There is a bit more darkness in this book than in the original. Mary Poppins herself is both more self-centered about her appearance as well as much crabbier to the children. Mary Poppins never explains how any of the magical things happen to the children and never answers their questions. It seems they are becoming more accepting of this in this second book, and just take her and the mysteries that surround her for part of who she is.
In this book we meet a new character, baby Anbabel. For the life of me I can't imagine why Mr. and Mrs. Banks keep having children they ignore and can't care for. These books were written in the 1930’s for an English audience but almost all children are familiar with the movie Mary Poppins and have wonderful memories associated with the whole series.
