Illustrated by
Mary Shepard.
This reissue features Mary Poppins characters in a series of twenty-six vignettes. Each is a self-contained episode and highlights words starting with a particular letter: "T is for Topsy-Turvy...Mr. Banks Tears Through The house like a Tempest. 'Why is my Tobacco Tin Topped-up with Toffee?...' No one can Tell him." And so it goes, with the proceedings enlivened by Shepard's illustrations.
