It's a ""natural"" -- just as Winnie the Pooh and When We Were Very Young were naturals. The grown-ups will take it from the children; the children will take it from the grown-ups. And everyone will have a good time getting acquainted with Mary Poppins, the upside-down sort of nurse, who blew in on one wind and out on another, and who transformed a household while she was in charge of the nursery. Humor that is fun -- exaggeration, absurdity, imagination plus. Illustrated by Mary Shepard, a true daughter of her famous father. Watch it.
