Another charming entry in the Mary Poppins series, and perfectly enjoyable bedtime reading. The last chapter does have the feeling of a send-off even though there were several books after this one.

Mary Poppins has returned to the Banks nursery. According to her tape measure, Jane and Michael have grown ''Worse and Worse'' since she went away. The old Cherry Tree Lane friends are here again and also some amazing new ones.
