Beautiful, whimsical writing, characters so unique and moving, not introduced in the movie, overall it's just a gorgeous story. Cheated! My mother failed me deeply in never reading this book to me when I was young, and what's worse, I cheated my own daughter. My first thought on listening to this book? I WAS CHEATED! Yes, that's right. I finally scraped the bottom of the barrel of new books in my library, so I started this short listen. Do I really need further evidence that the movie is never as good as the book? I must have seen the Disney movie at least a dozen times, so I put off listening to this, feeling I had a fairly good idea of the story and characters.
However, in the movie the children accompany her.Sometimes I wonder at myself. In the book, Mary has an adventure with Bert in the chalk drawing on her day off.Furthermore, the children do not meet Bert. Bert does not attend the tea party with Mary and the children in the book.However, in the movie, Bert is a chimney sweep and chalk artist. There is the assumption that Mary and Bert are more than friends in the movie, and their relationship is less apparent in the books. Bert is a match man and a chalk artist in the book.Mary Poppins is much nicer in the movie.There are stories within the first book that do not appear in the movie such as visiting the zoo at night, buying gingerbread stars, and the twins talking to the birds.The songs include Chim Chim Cher-ee, Feed the Birds, I Love to Laugh, Let’s Go Fly a Kite, A Spoonful of Sugar, Super-Cali-fragilistic-Expialidocus, and more.
