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.
"I, who hailed her [earlier] as a 'delightful new character who has come to stay' think Mary Poppins Opens the Door is even better--so rich it is in nursery lore, so sparkling with magic, so warmly understanding of children."--The Horn Book
