The book that I have recently finished is Mary Poppins by P.L. Travers. This book is about a nanny-Mary Poppins- who takes care of Jane and Michael Banks. Mary Poppins has a certain type of mystical magic around her. The book is broken up into short stories but all of them involve the characters. Mary Poppins is magical.

One example if this is in the short story “Full Moon”. In this story Jane and Michael are suddenly awaken by a strange voice that leads them to the zoo in the middle of the night. When they arrive there they find all the animals out of their cages and walking around and talking. They also find humans in cages. Basically the animals and the humans switch places. Jane and Michael also hear animals talking about someone’s birthday. Some how they find themselves in they reptile house and Mary Poppins is there. The birthday girl everyone is talking about is Mary Poppins! The next morning Jane and Michael think that it must be a dream but then they see Mary Poppins were a snakeskin belt that says “A present from the zoo”. Now it can’t possible be a dream.

Overall Mary Poppins is magic because she had a birthday party and the zoo in the middle of the night with the animals talking and running around freely. Only a person who is magical and imaginative could do this. I highly recommend this book.
