Rating: 3 of 5 Stars
Genre: Middlegrade Fiction

Exactly more of the same. The same plot points, the same beats, the same style. Once each story opened, I knew exactly where it was going. That’s just fine for a childrens story. But since this is the fourth Mary Poppins book I read, it was a bit tiresome for Adult Me.
I have no regrets whatsoever about reading this omnibus of Mary Poppins books, but I am glad I am done with these stories. I wouldn’t recommend them on their own but only to those of you who might have children or want to be reminded of what a child’s mind can handle.
★★★☆☆

Synopsis – Click to Open
This fourth book contains six adventures of the Banks children with Mary Poppins during their outings in the park along Cherry Tree Lane. Chronologically the events in this book occurred during the second or third book (Mary Poppins Comes Back and Mary Poppins Opens the Door respectively). Among the adventures they experience are a tea party with the people who live under the dandelions, a visit to cats on a different planet, and a Halloween dance party with their shadows.
